74 O God, why hast thou cast us off for ever? why doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?

⁵ How long, Lord? wilt thou be angry for ever? shall thy jealousy burn like fire?

⁴ O Lord God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people?

⁵ Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Surely in the fire of my jealousy have I spoken against the residue of the heathen, and against all Idumea, which have appointed my land into their possession with the joy of all their heart, with despiteful minds, to cast it out for a prey.
