Isaiah 66:15-17
1599 Geneva Bible
15 For behold, the Lord will come with fire, and his chariots like a whirlwind, that he may [a]recompense his anger with wrath, and his indignation with the flame of fire.
16 For the Lord will judge with fire, and with his sword all flesh, and the flame of the Lord shall be many.
17 They that sanctify [b]themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one tree in the midst eating [c]swine’s flesh, and such abomination, even the mouse, shall be consumed together, saith the Lord.
