12 “I, I am he who comforts you;
    who are you that[a] you are afraid of man? He dies!
    And of the son of humankind? He is sacrificed[b] as grass!
13 And you have forgotten Yahweh, your maker,
    who stretched out the heavens,
    and founded the earth.
And you tremble continually, all day,
    because of the wrath of the oppressor
    when he takes aim[c] to destroy.
But[d] where is the wrath of the oppressor?
14     The fettered one shall make haste to be freed.
And he shall not die in[e] the pit,
    and he shall not lack his bread.
