How much longer will you forget me, LORD? Forever? How much longer will you hide yourself from me?

How long must I endure trouble? How long will sorrow fill my heart day and night? How long will my enemies triumph over me?

Why have you abandoned us like this, O God? Will you be angry with your own people forever?

All our sacred symbols are gone; there are no prophets left, and no one knows how long this will last.

How long, O God, will our enemies laugh at you? Will they insult your name forever?

How much longer, LORD God Almighty, will you be angry with your people's prayers?

LORD, will you hide yourself forever? How long will your anger burn like fire?

They shouted in a loud voice, "Almighty Lord, holy and true! How long will it be until you judge the people on earth and punish them for killing us?"

He does not keep on rebuking; he is not angry forever.

My anger will flame up like fire and burn everything on earth. It will reach to the world below and consume the roots of the mountains.

"I, the Sovereign LORD, have spoken out in the heat of my anger against the surrounding nations, and especially against Edom. With glee and contempt they captured my land and took possession of its pastures.

On the day when the LORD shows his fury, not even all their silver and gold will save them. The whole earth will be destroyed by the fire of his anger. He will put an end---a sudden end---to everyone who lives on earth.

"Just wait," the LORD says. "Wait for the day when I rise to accuse the nations. I have made up my mind to gather nations and kingdoms in order to let them feel the force of my anger. The whole earth will be destroyed by the fire of my fury.
