Isaiah 9:12

Yahweh's Anger Against Arrogance

¹¹
Therefore the Lord raises against Ephraim adversaries from Rezin [king of Aram]
And spurs their enemies on,
¹² 
The Arameans on the east and the Philistines on the west;
And they devour Israel with gaping jaws.
In spite of all this, God’s anger does not turn away
But His hand is still stretched out [in judgment]. ¹³
Yet the people do not turn back [in repentance] to Him who struck them,
Nor do they seek the Lord of hosts [as their most essential need].

But His hand is still stretched out [in judgment].

But His hand is still stretched out [in judgment].
