| 4I am not angry. If only thorns and briers confronted Me, I would march and trample them, I would burn them to the ground. | 4"I have no wrath. Should someone give Me briars and thorns in battle, Then I would step on them, I would burn them completely. |
| 5Or let them lay claim to My protection; let them make peace with Me—yes, let them make peace with Me.” | 5"Or let him rely on My protection, Let him make peace with Me, Let him make peace with Me." |

| 10For the fortified city lies deserted—a homestead abandoned, a wilderness forsaken. There the calves graze, and there they lie down; they strip its branches bare. | 10For the fortified city is isolated, A homestead forlorn and forsaken like the desert; There the calf will graze, And there it will lie down and feed on its branches. |

Therefore their Maker has no compassion on them, and their Creator shows them no favor. | 11When its limbs are dry, they are broken off; Women come and make a fire with them, For they are not a people of discernment, Therefore their Maker will not have compassion on them. And their Creator will not be gracious to them. |
