18 According to their deeds,
    so He will repay:
wrath to His adversaries,
    retribution to His enemies.
To the islands He will repay as due.
19 So from the west they will fear the Name of Adonai,
and His glory from the rising of the sun.
For He will come like a rushing stream
    driven along by the Ruach Adonai.

and to those in Jacob who turn from transgression.”
It is a declaration of Adonai.
