7
He did not forgive the ancient giants who revolted in their might.
8
He did not spare the neighbors of Lot, whom he loathed on account of their arrogance.
9
He showed no pity on the doomed nation, on those dispossessed because of their sins;
10
or on the six hundred thousand foot soldiers who assembled in their stubbornness.
11
Even if there were only one stiff-necked person, it would be a wonder if he remained unpunished. For mercy and wrath are with the Lord; he is mighty to forgive—but he also pours out wrath.
