17 “Alas, O Sovereign Lord Jehovah! Look! You made the heavens and the earth by your great power+ and by your outstretched arm. Nothing is too wonderful for you, 18 the One showing loyal love to thousands, but repaying the error of the fathers to* their sons after them,+ the true God, the great and mighty One, whose name is Jehovah of armies. 19 You are great in counsel* and mighty in deed,+ you whose eyes observe all the ways of men,+ to give to each one according to his ways and according to what he does.+
