¹² For it is a fire that consumes to destruction, And would root out all my increase.

²⁷ Can a man scoop fire into his lap, And his clothes not be burned?

³⁰ He shall not depart out of darkness; The flame shall dry up his branches, By the breath of God's mouth shall he go away.

²⁸ The increase of his house shall depart; They shall rush away in the day of his wrath.

⁶ Sheol{Sheol is the lower world or the grave.} is naked before God, And Abaddon{Abaddon means Destroyer.} has no covering.

³³ Yahweh's curse is in the house of the wicked, But he blesses the habitation of the righteous.

⁷ How can I pardon you? your children have forsaken me, and sworn by them that are no gods: when I had fed them to the full, they committed adultery, and assembled themselves in troops at the prostitutes' houses.

⁸ They were as fed horses roaming at large; everyone neighed after his neighbor's wife.

⁹ Shall I not visit for these things? says Yahweh; and shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?

⁵ I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against the perjurers, and against those who oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and who deprive the foreigner of justice, and don't fear me," says Yahweh of Hosts.

⁴ Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the bed be undefiled: but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers.
