So I will choose harsh treatment for them
and bring on them what they fear.
I called, but no one answered.
I spoke, but they didn’t listen.
They did what I consider evil.
They chose what I don’t like.

Listen to the Lord’s word, all who tremble at his word.

Your relatives, who hate you and exclude you for my name’s sake, say,
“Let the Lord show his glory; then we will see your joy.”
But they will be put to shame.
Listen to the uproar from the city.
Listen to the sound from the temple.
It is the sound of the Lord
paying back his enemies as they deserve.

    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.
