¹⁰ He who is the judge of the nations, will he not give men the reward of their acts, even he who gives knowledge to man?

¹¹ Who gives us more knowledge than the beasts of the earth, and makes us wiser than the birds of the heaven?

²⁶ For his God is his teacher, giving him the knowledge of these things.

² Uprooting the nations with your hand, and planting our fathers in their place; cutting down the nations, but increasing the growth of your people.

²⁵ Let your wrath be let loose on the nations which have no knowledge of you, and on the families who give no worship to your name: for they have made a meal of Jacob, truly they have made a meal of him and put an end to him and made his fields a waste.

²¹ And I will put my glory among the nations, and all the nations will see my punishments which I have put into effect, and my hand which I have put on them.

² You only of all the families of the earth have I taken care of: for this reason I will send punishment on you for all your sins.

¹² Are you not eternal, O Lord my God, my Holy One? for you there is no death. O Lord, he has been ordered by you for our punishment; and by you, O Rock, he has been marked out to put us right.

¹² You went stepping through the land in wrath, crushing the nations in your passion.

⁴⁵ The writings of the prophets say, And they will all have teaching from God. Everyone whose ears have been open to the teaching of the Father comes to me.

¹³ And all your builders will be made wise by the Lord; and great will be the peace of your children.

³⁶ And the angel of the Lord went out and put to death in the army of the Assyrians a hundred and eighty-five thousand men: and when the people got up early in the morning, there was nothing to be seen but dead bodies.

¹² For this cause it will be that, when the purpose of the Lord against Mount Zion and Jerusalem is complete, I will send punishment on the pride of the heart of the king of Assyria, and on the glory of his uplifted eyes.

¹⁶ The Lord is King for ever and ever; the nations are gone from his land.

⁸ Good and upright is the Lord: so he will be the teacher of sinners in the way.

⁹ He will be an upright guide to the poor in spirit: he will make his way clear to them.

⁶⁶ Give me knowledge and good sense; for I have put my faith in your teachings.

⁸ He put to death the first-fruits of Egypt, of man and of beast.

⁹ He sent signs and wonders among you, O Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his servants.

¹⁰ He overcame great nations, and put strong kings to death;

¹¹ Sihon, king of the Amorites, and Og, king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan;

¹² And gave their land for a heritage, even for a heritage to Israel his people.

⁷ To give the nations the reward of their sins, and the peoples their punishment;

⁶ For the Lord gives wisdom; out of his mouth come knowledge and reason:

³ And the peoples will say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob: and he will give us knowledge of his ways, and we will be guided by his word; for out of Zion the law will go out, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

⁵ Ho! Assyrian, the rod of my wrath, the instrument of my punishment!

⁶ I will send him against a nation of wrongdoers, and against the people of my wrath I will give him orders, to take their wealth in war, crushing them down like the dust in the streets.

⁵ You have said sharp words to the nations, you have sent destruction on the sinners, you have put an end to their name for ever and ever.
