16 They prouoked hym to angre with straunge goddes: euen wt abhominacyons prouoked they him
17 They offered vnto deuels, and not to God, euen to goddes whom they knewe not: to newe goddes that came newly vp, whom their fathers feared not.
18 Of the rocke that begat the, thou arte vnmyndefull, and hast forgotten God that made the.
19 The Lorde therfore sawe it, and was angrye, because of the prouokynge of hys sonnes and of hys daughters.
20 And he sayde: I wyll hyde my face from them, & will se what their ende shall be. For they are a very fro warde generacion, chyldren in whom is no fayth.
21 They haue angred me wyth that whych is no God, and prouoked me wyth their vanyties. And I also wyll prouoke them with those whych are no people, I wyll anger them wyth a folyshe nacion.
22 For fyre is kyndled in my wrath, & burneth vnto the botome of hell. And hath consumed the earth with her encrease, and sett a fyre the botoms of the mountaynes.
23 I will heape mischeues vpon them, & wyll destroye them wyth myne arowes.
24 They shalbe burnt with hunger, and consumed wt heate, and with bytter destruccion: I wyll also sende the teeth of beastes vpon them, with the furiousnes of serpentes in the dust.
25 Without forth, shall the swerde robbe them of their chyldren: and within in the chamber, feare: both younge men and younge wemen and the suckelynges wyth the men of gray heades.
26 I haue sayde: I will skater them abrode, and make the remembraunce of them to ceasse from amonge men.
27 Were it not that I feared the wrath of the enemye, lest their aduersaries shulde vtterly wythdrawe them selues, and lest they shulde saye: oure hye hande hath done all thys, and not the Lorde.
28 For it is a nacyon without forecast, nether is there any vnderstandynge in them:
29 O that they were wyse, and vnderstode thys, that they wolde consyder their later ende.
30 Howe shulde one chace a thousande, and two put ten thousande to flyghte: excepte their maker had solde them, and excepte the Lorde had shutt them vp?
31 For their God is not as oure God oure enemyes also themselues are iudges.
32 For their vyne is of the vinyarde of Sodome, and of the feldes of Gomorra: Theyr grapes are grapes of gall, and their clusters be bytter.
33 Their wyne is the poyson of draggons & the cruell gall of aspes.
34 Is not thys layde in store with me, & sealed vp amonge my treasures?
35 Uengeaunce is myne, and I wyll rewarde: their fete shall slyde in due tyme. For the daye of their destruccyon is at hande, and the thynges that shall come vpon them make haste.
36 For the Lorde shall iudge hys people, and haue compassyon on hys seruauntes: whan he seyth that their power is gone, and that they be in a maner shut vp, or brought to naught and forsaken.
37 And he shall saye wher are their goddes? their God, in whom they trusted?
38 The fat of whose sacrifyces they dyd eate and drancke the wyne of their dryncke offringes? let them ryse vp and helpe you, and be youre proteccyon.
39 Se nowe, howe that I I alone am God, & there is none but I: I kyll, and wyll make alyue: I wounde, and I wyll heale: nether is there any that can delyuer out of my hande.
40 For I wyll lyfte vp myne hande to heauen, and wyll saye: I lyue euer.
41 If I whett the edge of my swerde, & myne hande take holde to do iustice, I wyll recompence vengeaunce on myne enemyes, & wyll rewarde them that hate me.
42 I will make myne arowes droncke with bloude, and my swerde shall eate fleshe, & that for the bloude of the slayne, & for their captiuite, sens the begynnynge of the wrath of the enemye.
