43 "You have covered yourself with anger and pursued us; you have slain without pity.
43 "You have wrapped yourself with anger and pursued us, killing without pity;
43 "You lost your temper with us, holding nothing back. You chased us and cut us down without mercy.
43 You have covered Yourself with anger And pursued us; You have slain and not pitied.
43 "You have engulfed us with your anger, chased us down, and slaughtered us without mercy.
