צ (Tsade)
4:18 Our enemies 1 hunted us down at every step 2
so that we could not walk about in our streets.
Our end drew near, our days were numbered, 3
for our end had come!
7:5 “This is what the sovereign Lord says: A disaster 12 – a one-of-a-kind 13 disaster – is coming! 7:6 An end comes 14 – the end comes! 15 It has awakened against you 16 – the end is upon you! Look, it is coming! 17 7:7 Doom is coming upon you who live in the land! The time is coming, the day 18 is near. There are sounds of tumult, not shouts of joy, on the mountains. 19 7:8 Soon now I will pour out my rage 20 on you; I will fully vent my anger against you. I will judge you according to your behavior. I will hold you accountable for all your abominable practices. 7:9 My eye will not pity you; I will not spare 21 you. For your behavior I will hold you accountable, 22 and you will suffer the consequences of your abominable practices. Then you will know that it is I, the Lord, who is striking you. 23
