and further, that his anger never punishes and he does not take the least notice of wickedness.

And now, because his anger does not punish, and he does not take much note of transgression

You say he does not respond to sinners with anger and is not greatly concerned about wickedness.

But now, because God’s anger does not punish and he does not pay attention to transgression

But now, because it is not so, he hath visited in his anger; Yet he knoweth it not in great extremity

And now, because He has not punished in His anger, Nor taken much notice of folly

“When times get bad, people cry out for help. They cry for relief from being kicked around, But never give God a thought when things go well, when God puts spontaneous songs in their hearts, When God sets out the entire creation as a science classroom, using birds and beasts to teach wisdom. People are arrogantly indifferent to God— until, of course, they’re in trouble, and then God is indifferent to them. There’s nothing behind such prayers except panic; the Almighty pays them no mind. So why would he notice you just because you say you’re tired of waiting to be heard, Or waiting for him to get good and angry and do something about the world’s problems?

“And now, because He has not avenged His anger, Nor has He acknowledged wrongdoing well

“And now, because He has not [quickly] punished in His anger, Nor has He acknowledged transgression and arrogance well [and seems unaware of the wrong of which a person is guilty]

And further, when you say that his anger does not punish, and that he does not know transgression!
