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,

³⁰ Then they will begin to tell the mountains, 'Fall on us!' and tell the hills, 'Cover us.'

⁸ The high places also of Aven, the sin of Israel, will be destroyed. The thorn and the thistle will come up on their altars. They will tell the mountains, "Cover us!" and the hills, "Fall on us!"

⁹ When the living creatures give glory, honor, and thanks to him who sits on the throne, to him who lives forever and ever,

² Immediately I was in the Spirit. Behold, there was a throne set in heaven, and one sitting on the throne

¹¹ I saw a great white throne, and him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. There was found no place for them.

¹⁵ Out of his mouth proceeds a sharp, double-edged sword, that with it he should strike the nations. He will rule them with a rod of iron. He treads the winepress of the fierceness of the wrath of God, the Almighty.

⁶ and swore by him who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and the things that are in it, the earth and the things that are in it, and the sea and the things that are in it, that there will no longer be delay,

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?"

⁵ Out of the throne proceed lightnings, sounds, and thunders. There were seven lamps of fire burning before his throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.

⁷ and to give relief to you that are afflicted with us, when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels in flaming fire,

⁸ giving vengeance to those who don't know God, and to those who don't obey the Gospel of our Lord Jesus,

⁹ who will pay the penalty: eternal destruction from the face of the Lord and from the glory of his might,

⁶⁴ Jesus said to him, "You have said it. Nevertheless, I tell you, henceforth you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming on the clouds of the sky."

¹⁴ So the angel who talked with me said to me, "Proclaim, saying, 'Thus says Yahweh of Hosts: "I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy.

¹⁵ I am very angry with the nations that are at ease; for I was but a little displeased, but they added to the calamity."

³ Death shall be chosen rather than life by all the residue that remain of this evil family, that remain in all the places where I have driven them, says Yahweh of Hosts.

⁵ The Lord is at your right hand. He will crush kings in the day of his wrath.

⁶ He will judge among the nations. He will heap up dead bodies. He will crush the ruler of the whole earth.

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.

¹⁰ You will destroy their descendants from the earth, Their posterity from among the children of men.

¹¹ For they intended evil against you. They plotted evil against you which cannot succeed.

¹² For you will make them turn their back, When you aim drawn bows at their face.

⁵ There they were in great fear, For God is in the generation of the righteous.

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.
