¹⁷ And the light of Israel will be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame: wasting and burning up his thorns in one day.

⁴ My passion is over: if the thorns were fighting against me, I would make an attack on them, and they would be burned up together.

¹ Now the people were saying evil against the Lord; and the Lord, hearing it, was angry and sent fire on them, burning the outer parts of the tent-circle.

² And the people made an outcry to Moses, and Moses made prayer to the Lord, and the fire was stopped.

³ So that place was named Taberah, because of the fire of the Lord which had been burning among them.

²³ Against whom have you said evil and bitter things? and against whom has your voice been loud and your eyes lifted up? even against the Holy One of Israel.

⁴ Undergo a circumcision of the heart, you men of Judah and people of Jerusalem: or my wrath may come out like fire, burning so that no one is able to put it out, because of the evil of your doings.

²⁰ So this is what the Lord God has said: See, my wrath and my passion will be let loose on this place, on man and beast, and on the trees of the field, and on the produce of the earth; it will be burning and will not be put out.

¹⁰ For though they are like twisted thorns, and are overcome as with drink, they will come to destruction like stems of grass fully dry.

²⁴ And they will go out to see the dead bodies of the men who have done evil against me: for their worm will ever be living, and their fire will never be put out, and they will be a thing of fear to all flesh.

⁵ The mountains are shaking because of him, and the hills flowing away; the earth is falling to bits before him, the world and all who are in it.

⁶ Who may keep his place before his wrath? and who may undergo the heat of his passion? his wrath is let loose like fire and the rocks are broken open by him.

¹ For see, the day is coming, it is burning like an oven; all the men of pride and all who do evil will be dry stems of grass: and in the day which is coming they will be burned up, says the Lord of armies, till they have not a root or a branch.

² But to you who give worship to my name, the sun of righteousness will come up with new life in its wings; and you will go out, playing like young oxen full of food.

³ And the evil-doers will be crushed under you, they will be dust under your feet, in the day when I do my work, says the Lord of armies.

¹² In whose hand is the instrument with which he will make clean his grain; he will put the good grain in his store, but the waste will be burned up in the fire which will never be put out.

⁷ And to you who are troubled, rest with us, when the Lord Jesus comes from heaven with the angels of his power in flames of fire,

⁸ To give punishment to those who have no knowledge of God, and to those who do not give ear to the good news of our Lord Jesus:

⁹ Whose reward will be eternal destruction from the face of the Lord and from the glory of his strength,

²⁹ For our God is an all-burning fire.

²³ And the town has no need of the sun, or of the moon, to give it light: for the glory of God did make it light, and the light of it is the Lamb.

⁵ And there will be no more night; and they have no need of a light or of the shining of the sun; for the Lord God will give them light: and they will be ruling for ever and ever.

¹⁵ For the Lord is coming with fire, and his war-carriages will be like the storm-wind; to give punishment in the heat of his wrath, and his passion is like flames of fire.

¹⁶ For with fire and sword will the Lord come, judging all the earth, and his sword will be on all flesh: and great numbers will be put to death by him.

¹ O let the heavens be broken open and come down, so that the mountains may be shaking before you, As when fire puts the brushwood in flames, or as when water is boiling from the heat of the fire: to make your name feared by your haters, so that the nations may be shaking before you;

² While you do acts of power for which we are not looking, and which have not come to the ears of men in the past.

⁸ There went up a smoke from his nose, and a fire of destruction from his mouth: flames were lighted by it.

⁹ You will make them like a flaming oven before you; the Lord in his wrath will put an end to them, and they will be burned up in the fire.

¹ <Of David.> The Lord is my light and my salvation; who is then a cause of fear to me? the Lord is the strength of my life; who is a danger to me?

³ Our God will come, and will not keep quiet; with fire burning before him, and storm-winds round him.

¹⁴ As fire burning a wood, and as a flame causing fire on the mountains,

¹⁵ So go after them with your strong wind, and let them be full of fear because of your storm.

¹¹ The Lord God is our sun and our strength: the Lord will give grace and glory: he will not keep back any good thing from those whose ways are upright.

³ Fire goes before him, burning up all those who are against him round about.

¹⁸ For evil was burning like a fire; the blackberries and thorns were burned up; the thick woods took fire, rolling up in dark clouds of smoke.

²⁷ See, the name of the Lord is coming from far, burning with his wrath, with thick smoke going up: his lips are full of passion, and his tongue is like a burning fire:

²⁸ And his breath is as an overflowing stream, coming up even to the neck, shaking the nations for their destruction, like the shaking of grain in a basket: and he will put a cord in the mouths of the people, turning them out of their way.

⁹ And his rock will come to nothing because of fear, and his chiefs will go in flight from the flag, says the Lord, whose fire is in Zion, and his altar in Jerusalem.

¹⁴ The sinners in Zion are full of fear; the haters of God are shaking with wonder. Who among us may keep his place before the burning fire? who among us may see the eternal burnings?

³⁶ And the angel of the Lord went out and put to death in the army of the Assyrians a hundred and eighty-five thousand men: and when the people got up early in the morning, there was nothing to be seen but dead bodies.

¹⁹ The sun will not be your light by day, and the moon will no longer be bright for you by night: but the Lord will be to you an eternal light, and your God your glory.

³⁵ Then fire came out from the Lord, burning up the two hundred and fifty men who were offering the perfume.
