People of Jacob, should anyone say,
    “The Lord is patient,
    so he wouldn’t do things like that”?

The Lord replies, “What I promise brings good things
    to those who lead honest lives.
But lately my people have attacked one another
    as if they were enemies.
You strip off the rich robes
    from those who happen to pass by.
They thought they were as safe as men
    returning from a battle they had won.
You drive the women among my people
    out of their pleasant homes.
You take away my blessing
    from their children forever.
