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.

⁶ The Lord of armies will come in with thunder and earth-shaking and great noise, with rushing wind and storm, and the flame of burning fire.

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.

⁵ And lifting up my eyes, I saw a man with a measuring-line in his hand.

³ All you peoples of the world, and you who are living on the earth, when a flag is lifted up on the mountains, give attention; and when the horn is sounded, give ear.

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 When Zion has been washed from her sin by the Lord, and Jerusalem made clean from her blood by a judging and a burning wind.

³⁷ And he will say, Where are their gods, the rock in which they put their faith?

³¹ For their rock is not like our Rock, even our haters themselves being judges.

¹³ This is the offering which Aaron and his sons are to make to the Lord on the day when he is made a priest: the tenth part of an ephah of the best meal for a meal offering for ever; half of it in the morning and half in the evening.

¹⁸ Son of man, the children of Israel have become like the poorest sort of waste metal to me: they are all silver and brass and tin and iron and lead mixed with waste.

¹⁹ For this cause the Lord has said: Because you have all become waste metal, see, I will get you together inside Jerusalem.

²⁰ As they put silver and brass and iron and lead and tin together inside the oven, heating up the fire on it to make it soft; so will I get you together in my wrath and in my passion, and, heating the fire with my breath, will make you soft.

²¹ Yes, I will take you, breathing on you the fire of my wrath, and you will become soft in it.

²² As silver becomes soft in the oven, so you will become soft in it; and you will be certain that I the Lord have let loose my passion on you.

³³ For a place of fire has long been ready; yes, it has been made ready for the king; he has made it deep and wide: it is massed with fire and much wood; the breath of the Lord, like a stream of fire, puts a light to it.

¹⁰ And in that day, the eyes of the nations will be turned to the root of Jesse which will be lifted up as the flag of the peoples; and his resting-place will be glory.
