Those who live in the land of the shadow of death,

The light will shine on them.

As with the gladness [fn]of harvest,

There will be no end to the increase of His government or of peace,

Nor does He have compassion on their [fn]orphans or their widows;

And every mouth is speaking wicked foolishness.

In spite of all this, His anger does not turn back,

And His hand is still stretched out.

Manasseh devours Ephraim, and Ephraim Manasseh,

And together they are against Judah.

In spite of all this, His anger does not turn back,

And His hand is still stretched out.
