For why a day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the year of my yielding cometh.

Wycliffe Modern Spelling

In Context

5I looked about, and none helper was; I sought, and none was that helped; and mine arm saved to me, and mine indignation, that helped me. (I looked about, but no one would help me; I sought everywhere, but no one would help; so my own arm saved me, and my anger, that upheld me.)
