Isaiah 9:17

Therefore the Lord will not rejoice over their young men nor will he have compassion on their fatherless and widows, 1 since every one is godless and an evildoer, and every mouth speaks foolish things. 1 In all these things, his anger does not subside; instead, his hand is still stretched out. 1
