'Spite' in the Bible
The Arameans on the east and the Philistines on the west;And they devour Israel with gaping jaws.In spite of all this, His anger does not turn awayAnd His hand is still stretched out.
Therefore the Lord does not take pleasure in their young men,Nor does He have pity on their orphans or their widows;For every one of them is godless and an evildoer,And every mouth is speaking foolishness.In spite of all this, His anger does not turn awayAnd His hand is still stretched out.
Manasseh devours Ephraim, and Ephraim Manasseh,And together they are against Judah.In spite of all this, His anger does not turn awayAnd His hand is still stretched out.
Nothing remains but to crouch among the captivesOr fall among the slain.In spite of all this, His anger does not turn awayAnd His hand is still stretched out.
“But these two things will come on you suddenly in one day:Loss of children and widowhood.They will come on you in full measureIn spite of your many sorceries,In spite of the great power of your spells.
