In context

3The Lord is long-suffering, and his power is great, and the Lord will not hold any guiltless: his way is in destruction and in the whirlwind, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.

7The Lord is good to them that wait on him in the day of affliction; and he knows them that reverence him.
