| 4 | Fury is not in me: who would set the briers and thorns against me in battle? I would go through them, I would burn them together. | I am not angry. If only thorns and briers confronted Me, I would march and trample them, I would burn them to the ground. | Wrath is not in me: would that the briers and thorns were against me in battle! I would march upon them, I would burn them together. |
