4  You who ^dtear yourself in your anger,

shall the earth be forsaken for you,

or ^ethe rock be removed out of its place?

1  “Come, let us ^yreturn to the Lord;

for ^zhe has torn us, that he may heal us;

he has struck us down, and ^ahe will bind us up.

^k“For three transgressions of ^yEdom,

and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,

^ybecause he pursued his brother with the sword

^zand cast off all pity,

^aand his anger tore perpetually,

^aand he kept his wrath forever.
