6. He built his palace in the heavensand let its foundationsrest on the earth.He scoops up the oceanand empties it on the earth.His name is the Lord.
7. Israel, I am the Lord God,and the Ethiopiansare no less important to methan you are.I brought you out of Egypt,but I also broughtthe Philistines from Creteand the Arameans from Kir.
8. My eyes have seenwhat a sinful nation you are,and I'll wipe you out.But I will leave a fewof Jacob's descendants.I, the Lord, have spoken!
