⁸ Therefore, be patient,” says the Lord.
    “Soon I will stand and accuse these evil nations.
For I have decided to gather the kingdoms of the earth
    and pour out my fiercest anger and fury on them.
All the earth will be devoured
    by the fire of my jealousy.

⁹ “Then I will purify the speech of all people,
    so that everyone can worship the Lord together.

²² You will heap burning coals of shame on their heads,
    and the Lord will reward you.

“If your enemies are hungry, feed them.
    If they are thirsty, give them something to drink.
In doing this, you will heap
    burning coals of shame on their heads.”^[a]
