²⁴ Therefore, as tongues of fire^(A) lick up straw^(B)
    and as dry grass sinks down in the flames,
so their roots will decay^(C)
    and their flowers blow away like dust;^(D)
for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty
    and spurned the word^(E) of the Holy One^(F) of Israel.
²⁵ Therefore the Lord’s anger^(G) burns against his people;
    his hand is raised and he strikes them down.
The mountains shake,^(H)
    and the dead bodies^(I) are like refuse^(J) in the streets.^(K)

Yet for all this, his anger is not turned away,^(L)
    his hand is still upraised.^(M)

²⁵ So he poured out on them his burning anger,^(A)
    the violence of war.
It enveloped them in flames,^(B) yet they did not understand;^(C)
    it consumed them, but they did not take it to heart.^(D)

¹⁰ But the Lord is the true God;
    he is the living God,^(A) the eternal King.^(B)
When he is angry,^(C) the earth trembles;^(D)
    the nations cannot endure his wrath.^(E)
