⁷ I form light and create darkness,
    I make well-being and ^(A)create calamity,
    I am the Lord, who does all these things.

^38 (A)Is it not from the mouth of the Most High
    that good and bad come?

¹² For the inhabitants of Maroth
    wait anxiously for good,
because disaster has come down ^(A)from the Lord
    to the gate of Jerusalem.
