Therefore as the tongue of fire devours the stubble, and as the dry grass sinks down in the flame, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust, because they have rejected the law of the LORD of Armies, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
Therefore the LORD’s anger burns against his people, and he has stretched out his hand against them and has struck them.
The mountains tremble, and their dead bodies are as refuse in the middle of the streets.
For all this, his anger is not turned away, but his hand is still stretched out.
