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.

⁵ And if any man would do them damage, fire comes out of their mouth and puts an end to those who are working against them: and if any man has a desire to do them damage, in this way will he be put to death.

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.

¹¹ And I have sent destruction among you, as when God sent destruction on Sodom and Gomorrah, and you were like a burning stick pulled out of the fire: and still you have not come back to me, says the Lord.

¹⁰ A stream of fire was flowing and coming out from before him: a thousand thousands were his servants, and ten thousand times ten thousand were in their places before him: the judge was seated and the books were open.

⁵ Come down, O Lord, from your heavens: at your touch let the mountains give out smoke.

⁶ With your storm-flames send them in flight: send out your arrows for their destruction.

³² At whose look the earth is shaking; at whose touch the mountains send out smoke.

¹ <Maschil. Of Asaph.> Of God, why have you put us away from you for ever? why is the fire of your wrath smoking against the sheep who are your care?

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

⁶ On the evil-doer he will send down fire and flames, and a burning wind; with these will their cup be full.

²³ And that all the land is a salt and smoking waste, not planted or giving fruit or clothed with grass, but wasted like Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, on which the Lord sent destruction in the heat of his wrath:

²⁴ Truly all the nations will say, Why has the Lord done so to this land? what is the reason for this great and burning wrath?

²⁰ The Lord will have no mercy on him, but the wrath of the Lord will be burning against that man, and all the curses recorded in this book will be waiting for him, and the Lord will take away his name completely from the earth.

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

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 fire came out from before the Lord, burning them up and causing their destruction before the Lord.

²⁸ And looking in the direction of Sodom and Gomorrah and the lowland, he saw the smoke of the land going up like the smoke of an oven.
