Will your jealousy burn like fire? Pour out your wrath on the nations that don't know you; on the kingdoms that don't call on your name; For they have devoured Jacob, and destroyed his homeland.

So we, your people and sheep of your pasture, will give you thanks forever. We will praise you forever, to all generations.
