²⁷ but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and a fierceness of fire which will devour the adversaries.

⁸ However at that time, not knowing God, you were in bondage to those who by nature are not gods.

⁶ Pour out your wrath on the nations that don't know you; On the kingdoms that don't call on your name;

²⁹ for our God is a consuming fire.

⁴¹ Then he will say also to those on the left hand, 'Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire which is prepared for the devil and his angels;

⁷ But the heavens that now are, and the earth, by the same word have been stored up for fire, being reserved against the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.

¹⁰ But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will be dissolved with fervent heat, and the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up.

¹¹ Therefore since all these things are thus to be destroyed, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy living and godliness,

¹² looking for and earnestly desiring the coming of the day of God, by reason of which the heavens being on fire will be dissolved, and the elements will melt with fervent heat?

¹⁰ The devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet are also. They will be tormented day and night forever and ever.

¹ Foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you not to obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was openly set forth among you as crucified?

⁵ throwing down imaginations and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ;

³⁴ Wake up righteously, and don't sin, for some have no knowledge of God. I say this to your shame.

⁵ not in the passion of lust, even as the Gentiles who don't know God;

²⁶ {See Romans 14:23}

¹⁸ For I will not dare to speak of any things except those which Christ worked through me, for the obedience of the Gentiles, by word and deed,

¹⁰ They cried with a loud voice, saying, "How long, Master, the holy and true, until you judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?"

¹⁶ But they didn't all listen to the glad news. For Isaiah says, "Lord, who has believed our report?"

³ how will we escape if we neglect so great a salvation-- which at the first having been spoken through the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard;

⁹ Having been made perfect, he became to all of those who obey him the author of eternal salvation,

³⁰ For we know him who said, "Vengeance belongs to me," says the Lord, "I will repay." Again, "The Lord will judge his people."

⁸ By faith, Abraham, when he was called, obeyed to go out to the place which he was to receive for an inheritance. He went out, not knowing where he went.

² according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of the Spirit, that you may obey Jesus Christ and be sprinkled in his blood: Grace to you and peace be multiplied.

⁶ as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, whose children you now are, if you do well, and are not put in fear by any terror.

¹⁶ They told the mountains and the rocks, "Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb,

¹⁷ for the great day of his wrath has come; and who is able to stand?"

⁸ But for the cowardly, unbelieving, sinners, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers,{The word for "sorcerers" here also includes users of potions and drugs.} idolaters, and all liars, their part is in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death."

⁴¹ If I whet my glittering sword, My hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to my adversaries, Will recompense those who hate me.

⁴² I will make my arrows drunk with blood, My sword shall devour flesh; With the blood of the slain and the captives, From the head of the leaders of the enemy.

¹⁶ Don't you know that to whom you present yourselves as servants to obedience, his servants you are whom you obey; whether of sin to death, or of obedience to righteousness?

⁷ to those who by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and incorruptibility, eternal life;

⁸ but to those who are self-seeking, and don't obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, will be wrath and indignation,

¹ Yahweh, you God to whom vengeance belongs, You God to whom vengeance belongs, shine forth.

⁸ Your hand will find out all of your enemies. Your right hand will find out those who hate you.

⁹ You will make them as a fiery furnace in the time of your anger. Yahweh will swallow them up in his wrath. The fire shall devour them.

⁴⁴ As soon as they hear of me they shall obey me. The foreigners shall submit themselves to me.

¹⁰ Those who know your name will put their trust in you, For you, Yahweh, have not forsaken those who seek you.

⁹ You shall break them with a rod of iron. You shall dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel."

¹⁰ Now therefore be wise, you kings. Be instructed, you judges of the earth.

¹¹ Serve Yahweh with fear, And rejoice with trembling.

¹² Kiss the son, lest he be angry, and you perish in the way, For his wrath will soon be kindled. Blessed are all those who take refuge in him.

¹² Now the sons of Eli were base men; they didn't know Yahweh.

³⁵ Vengeance is mine, and recompense, At the time when their foot shall slide: For the day of their calamity is at hand, The things that are to come on them shall make haste.

⁵ (I stood between Yahweh and you at that time, to show you the word of Yahweh: for you were afraid because of the fire, and didn't go up onto the mountain;) saying,

¹¹ You came near and stood under the mountain; and the mountain burned with fire to the heart of the sky, with darkness, cloud, and thick darkness.

² Pharaoh said, "Who is Yahweh, that I should listen to his voice to let Israel go? I don't know Yahweh, and moreover I will not let Israel go."

²⁴ So he drove out the man; and he placed Cherubs at the east of the garden of Eden, and the flame of a sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life.

¹⁹ If you are willing and obedient, You shall eat the good of the land;

¹¹ When the boughs of it are withered, they shall be broken off; the women shall come, and set them on fire; for it is a people of no understanding: therefore he who made them will not have compassion on them, and he who formed them will show them no favor.

²⁸ Even as they refused to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not fitting;

⁵ through whom we received grace and apostleship, for obedience of faith among all the nations, for his name's sake;

⁷ The word of God increased and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem exceedingly. A great company of the priests were obedient to the faith.

¹⁹ They said therefore to him, "Where is your Father?" Jesus answered, "You know neither me, nor my Father. If you knew me, you would know my Father also."

⁶ Your habitation is in the midst of deceit; through deceit they refuse to know me, says Yahweh.

⁴ For the day of vengeance was in my heart, and the year of my redeemed is come.

⁵ I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was none to uphold: therefore my own arm brought salvation to me; and my wrath, it upheld me.

⁶ I trod down the peoples in my anger, and made them drunk in my wrath, and I poured out their lifeblood on the earth.

² to proclaim the year of Yahweh's favor, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn;

² Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shines forth.

³ Our God comes, and does not keep silent. A fire devours before him. It is very tempestuous around him.

⁴ He calls to the heavens above, To the earth, that he may judge his people:

⁵ "Gather my saints together to me, Those who have made a covenant with me by sacrifice."

⁶ The heavens shall declare his righteousness, For God himself is judge. Selah.
