the justice of their God.

and torn off the chains.
I am about to bring a nation
from far away against you,
house of Israel.

a nation whose language you do not know
and whose speech you do not understand.

They weren’t at all ashamed.

says the LORD.

and you witnesses,
learn what the charge is against them.

This is the LORD’s declaration.

“But the one who boasts should boast in this:
that he understands and knows me —
that I am the LORD, showing faithful love,
justice, and righteousness on the earth,
for I delight in these things.
This is the LORD’s declaration.
I know, LORD,
that a person’s way of life is not his own;
no one who walks determines his own steps.
Pour out your wrath on the nations
that don’t recognize you
and on the families
that don’t call on your name,
for they have consumed Jacob;
they have consumed him and finished him off
and made his homeland desolate.

and set them apart for the day of killing.
