38Like a lion rhe has left his lair,

for their land has become a waste

because of sthe sword of the oppressor,

qand because of his fierce anger.”

because of the anger of the oppressors,

Because of the fierce anger of the Lord.

For their land is desolate

Because of the fierceness of the oppressor,

And because of his fierce anger.
