|
5. How long H5704 H4100 , LORD H3068 ? wilt thou be angry H599 forever H5331 ? shall thy jealousy H7068 burn H1197 like H3644 fire H784 ?

10. Why should the nations say, "Where is their God?" Make it known among the nations, in front of our eyes, that You punish for the blood that has poured from Your servants.
|
