Thematic Bible: Sometimes prolonged


Thematic Bible



And my soul is deeply distressed. But you, LORD, how long do I wait?


LORD, how long will you just watch? Rescue me from their destruction, my precious life from these young lions.

How long, LORD, will you be angry? Forever? Will your jealousy burn like fire?

LORD God of the Heavenly Armies, when will your smoldering anger toward your people's prayers cease?

How long, LORD, will you hide yourself? Forever? Will your anger continuously burn like fire?

Please return, LORD! When will it be? Comfort your servants.

How long will the wicked, LORD, how long will the wicked continue to triumph?

"How long, LORD, must I cry out for help, but you won't listen? I'm crying out to you, "Violence!' but you aren't providing deliverance.

And the angel of the LORD replied, "LORD of the Heavenly Armies, how long will it be until you show mercy to Jerusalem and to the cities of Judah, with whom you have been angry for these past seventy years?"
