⁶ I will send him against ^(A)an ungodly nation,
And against the people of My wrath
I will ^(B)give him charge,
To seize the spoil, to take the prey,
And to tread them down like the mire of the streets.

^6 (A)I was angry with My people;
^(B)I have profaned My inheritance,
And given them into your hand.
You showed them no mercy;
^(C)On the elderly you laid your yoke very heavily.

¹⁵ I am exceedingly angry with the nations at ease;
For ^(A)I was a little angry,
And they helped—but with evil intent.”
