19. Look, the punishment from the Lordwill come like a storm.His anger will be like a hurricane.It will come swirling down on the heads of those wicked people.
20. The Lord’s anger will not stopuntil he finishes what he plans to do.When that day is over,you will understand this clearly.
21. I did not send those prophets,but they ran to tell their message.I did not speak to them,but they prophesied anyway.
22. But if they had stood in the meeting of angels,they would have told my message to my people.They would have turned the people from their evil waysand from doing evil.
23. “I am a God who is near,” says the Lord.“I am also a God who is far away.”
