13 Is it not from the Lord of hosts
    that peoples labor only to feed the flames,
    and nations weary themselves for nothing?
14 But the earth will be filled
    with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord,

    pouring out your wrath[a] until they are drunk,
    in order to gaze on their nakedness!”
