    and bring upon them what they fear.
Because when I called, no one answered,
    when I spoke, no one listened.
Because they did what was evil in my sight,
    and things I do not delight in they chose,(A)
Hear the word of the Lord,
    you who tremble at his word!

    and cast you out because of my name say,
“May the Lord show his glory,

A voice roaring from the city,
    a voice from the temple;
The voice of the Lord
    rendering recompense to his enemies!(B)

    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.
