    to bring horrors upon them,
    since I called and no one answered.
    I spoke and no one heard,
        but they did evil in my eyes.
    What I didn’t want, they chose.

    you who tremble at his word:
Your family members, those who hate and exclude you because of my name,
    have said, “Let the Lord be glorified;

    The sound of the Lord repaying his enemies what they have earned.

    that we may see your joy!’

    hear that noise from the temple!
It is the sound(H) of the Lord
    repaying(I) his enemies all they deserve.
