I sought

And He saw that there was no man,
And was astonished that there was no one to intercede;
Then His own arm brought salvation to Him,
And His righteousness upheld Him.

“I looked, and there was no one to help,
And I was astonished and there was no one to uphold;
So My own arm brought salvation to Me,
And My wrath upheld Me.

“Roam to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem,
And look now and take note.
And seek in her open squares,
If you can find a man,

If there is one who does justice, who seeks truth,

Then I will pardon her.

Now then let Me alone, that My anger may burn against them and that I may destroy them; and I will make of you a great nation.”

To turn away His wrath from destroying them.
