Keep you longer than you ever thought you would stay!
Cost you more than you ever dreamed you would pay!

will cease and my wrath against them will subside, and I will be avenged. And
when I have spent my wrath upon them, they will know that I the LORD have
spoken in my zeal. Micah 5:15;
I will take vengeance in anger and wrath upon the nations that have not obeyed
me."

you.
