TSK · Isaiah 34:8

I will get revenge and pay them back at the time their foot slips; for the day of their disaster is near, and the impending judgment is rushing upon them!”

O LORD, the God who avenges! O God who avenges, reveal your splendor!

Look, the LORD’s day of judgment is coming; it is a day of cruelty and savage, raging anger, destroying the earth and annihilating its sinners.

Tell those who panic,“Be strong! Do not fear! Look, your God comes to avenge! With divine retribution he comes to deliver you.”

He wears his desire for justice like body armor, and his desire to deliver is like a helmet on his head. He puts on the garments of vengeance and wears zeal like a robe.

For I looked forward to the day of vengeance, and then payback time arrived.

The Lord Demands Justice, not Ritual Listen to what the LORD says:“Get up! Defend yourself before the mountains! Present your case before the hills!”

But because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath for yourselves in the day of wrath, when God’s righteous judgment is revealed!

For it is right for God to repay with affliction those who afflict you,

(Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you saints and apostles and prophets, for God has pronounced judgment against her on your behalf!)
