12. I — I am the One who comforts you.Who are you that you should fear man who dies, or a son of man who is given up like grass?
13. But you have forgotten the Lord, your Maker,who stretched out the heavensand laid the foundations of the earth. You are in constant dread all day longbecause of the fury of the oppressor,who has set himself to destroy.But where is the fury of the oppressor?
14. The prisoner is soon to be set free;he will not die and go to the Pit,and his food will not be lacking.
15. For I am Yahweh your Godwho stirs up the sea so that its waves roar —His name is Yahweh of Hosts.
