17 At that my anger will indeed blaze against them in that day,+ and I shall certainly forsake them+ and conceal my face from them,+ and they must become something to be consumed; and many calamities and distresses must come upon them,+ and they will be bound to say in that day, ‘Is it not because our* God is not in our midst that these calamities have come upon us?’*+

25 Pour out your rage upon the nations+ who have ignored you,*+ and upon the families who have not called even upon your name.+ For they have eaten up Jacob.+ Yes, they have eaten him up, and they keep at exterminating him;+ and his abiding place they have desolated.+
