Let God sweep them away
    faster than a cooking pot is heated by burning twigs.[a]

10 Righteous people will rejoice when they see God take revenge.
    They will wash their feet in the blood of wicked people.
11 Then people will say,
    “Righteous people certainly have a reward.
    There is an Elohim who judges on earth.”
