So I will choose ·their punishments [harsh treatment for them],
    and I will punish them with what they fear most.
This is because I called to them, but they did not listen.
    I spoke to them, but they did not hear me.
They did things I said were evil;
    they chose to do things I did not ·like [delight in].”

You people who ·obey the words of the Lord [L tremble at his word],
    listen to what he says:
“Your brothers hated you
    and ·turned against [excluded; cast out] you because ·you followed me [L of my name].
Your brothers said, ‘Let the Lord be ·honored [glorified]
    so we may see ·you rejoice [your joy],’
    but they will be ·punished [L put to shame].
·Listen to the loud noise coming [L A sound of uproar…!] from the city;
    hear the ·noise [or voice] from the Temple.
It is the [L voice/sound of the] Lord ·punishing [repaying] his enemies,
    giving them the punishment they deserve.

    you who tremble at his word:(E)
“Your own people who hate(F) you,
    and exclude you because of my name, have said,
‘Let the Lord be glorified,
    that we may see your joy!’
    Yet they will be put to shame.(G)
Hear that uproar from the city,
    hear that noise from the temple!
It is the sound(H) of the Lord
    repaying(I) his enemies all they deserve.
