47 aBecause you did not serve the Lord your God with joyfulness and gladness of heart, because of the abundance of all things, 48therefore you shall serve your enemies whom the Lord will send against you, in hunger and thirst, in nakedness, and lacking everything. And he bwill put a yoke of iron on your neck until he has destroyed you.Nehemiah 9:28

and shall I not avenge myself
