8. He did not spare the neighbors of Lot, abominable in their pride.
9. He did not spare the doomed people,dispossessed because of their sin;
10. Nor the six hundred thousand foot soldiers, sent to their graves for the arrogance of their hearts.
11. Had there been but one stiff-necked person,it would be a wonder had he gone unpunished.For mercy and anger alike are with him;he remits and forgives, but also pours out wrath.
12. Great as his mercy is his punishment;he judges people, each according to their deeds.
13. Criminals do not escape with their plunder;the hope of the righteous, God never leaves unfulfilled.
14. Whoever does good has a reward;each receives according to their deeds.
17. Do not say: “I am hidden from God;and on high who remembers me?Among so many people I am unknown;what am I in the world of spirits?
