²³ For the fear of God kept me back, and because of his power I might not do such things.

¹¹ Will not his glory put you in fear, so that your hearts will be overcome before him?

¹²⁰ My flesh is moved for fear of you; I give honour to your decisions.

¹¹ Having in mind, then, the fear of the Lord, we put these things before men, but God sees our hearts; and it is my hope that we may seem right in your eyes.

¹⁵ Sorrow for the day! for the day of the Lord is near, and as destruction from the Ruler of all it will come.

⁶ Send out a cry of grief; for the day of the Lord is near; it comes as destruction from the Most High.

⁷ You, you are to be feared; who may keep his place before you in the time of your wrath?

⁵ Word of you had come to my ears, but now my eye has seen you.

⁶ For this cause I give witness that what I said is false, and in sorrow I take my seat in the dust.

⁹ Then I will give praise to you, saying that your right hand is able to give you salvation.

²⁰ Let his eyes see his trouble, and let him be full of the wrath of the Ruler of all!

²³ God gives him his desire, and sends the heat of his wrath on him, making it come down on him like rain.

⁹ So that no one has more authority in this house than I have; he has kept nothing back from me but you, because you are his wife; how then may I do this great wrong, sinning against God?
