2 I spread out my hands all the day to a rebellious people, who walk in a way that is not good, following their own devices;

6 Behold, it is written before me: "I will not keep silent, but I will repay, yea, I will repay into their bosom

6 “See, it stands written before me: I will not keep silent but will pay back in full; I will pay it back into their laps—
