Love of God

How long will you judge unjustly
And show partiality to the wicked?
Selah.
Vindicate the weak and fatherless;
Do justice to the afflicted and destitute.
Rescue the weak and needy;
Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.
They do not know nor do they understand;
They walk about in darkness;
All the foundations of the earth are shaken.

Arise, O God, judge the earth!
For it is You who possesses all the nations.
from Psalm 82
Concerning the sons of Ammon. Thus says the Lord:…
“Behold, I am going to bring terror upon you,”
Declares the Lord God of hosts,
“From all directions around you;
And each of you will be driven out headlong,
With no one to gather the fugitives together.
“But afterward I will restore
The fortunes of the sons of Ammon,”
Declares the Lord.

Concerning Edom.
Thus says the Lord of hosts,…
whoever is chosen I shall appoint over it. For who is like Me, and who will summon Me into court? And who then is the shepherd who can stand against Me?”

That which came as the word of the Lord to Jeremiah the prophet concerning Elam,…
it will come about in the last days
That I will restore the fortunes of Elam,’”
Declares the Lord.
