4 I am not angry.

If only there were briers and thorns confronting me!

I would march against them in battle;

I would set them all on fire.

5 Or else let them come to me for refuge;

let them make peace with me,

yes, let them make peace with me.”

4 I have no wrath.

Would that I had thorns and briers to battle!

I would march against them,

I would burn them up together.

5 Or let them lay hold of my protection,

let them make peace with me,

let them make peace with me.”

4 Fury is not in me:

Who would set the briers and thorns against me in battle?

I would go through them, I would burn them together.

5 Or let him take hold of my strength,

That he may make peace with me;

And he shall make peace with me.

4 My anger will be gone.

If I find briers and thorns growing,

I will attack them;

I will burn them up—

5 unless they turn to me for help.

Let them make peace with me;

yes, let them make peace with me.”

4 Fury is not in Me.

Who would set briers and thorns

Against Me in battle?

I would go through them,

I would burn them together.

5 Or let him take hold of My strength,

That he may make peace with Me;

And he shall make peace with Me.”

4 I am not angry.

If anyone builds a wall of thornbushes in war,

I will march to it and burn it.

5 But if anyone comes to me for safety

and wants to make peace with me,

he should come and make peace with me.”

4 Wrath is not in me: would that the briers and thorns were against me in battle! I would march upon them, I would burn them together. 5 Or else let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me; yea, let him make peace with me.

4 Fury is not in me. Oh that I had briars and thorns in battle against me! I would march against them, I would burn them together. 5 Or let him take hold of my strength; let him make peace with me: yea, let him make peace with me.

4 I am no longer angry. 

If only thorns and briars would confront me! 

I would fight them in battle and set all of them on fire. 

5 Or else let them come to me for protection. 

Let them make peace with me. 

Yes, let them make peace with me. 

4 I am not angry,

but if it produces thorns and briers for Me,

I will fight against it, trample it,

and burn it to the ground.

5 Or let it take hold of My strength;

let it make peace with Me—

make peace with Me.

4 I have no wrath.

If it gives me thorns and briers,

I will march to battle against it.

I will burn it up.

5 Or else let it cling to me for protection,

let it make peace with me,

let it make peace with me.

4 I have no wrath.

Whatever gives me thorns and briers,

I will step forth against in battle.

I will set it on fire altogether.

5 Or let it grasp at my protection;

let it make peace with me;

peace let it make with me.”

4 I am not angry with my vineyard.

I wish thorns and bushes would come up in it.

Then I would march out against them in battle.

I would set all of them on fire.

5 So the enemies of my people had better come to me for safety.

They should make peace with me.

I will say it again.

They should make peace with me.”
