⁸ in flaming fire, giving vengeance to those not knowing God, and to those not obeying the good news of our Lord Jesus Christ;

²⁷ but a certain fearful looking for of judgment, and fiery zeal, about to devour the opposers;

⁸ But then, indeed, not having known God, ye were in servitude to those not by nature gods,

⁶ Pour Thy fury on the nations who have not known Thee, And on kingdoms that have not called in Thy name.

²⁹ for also our God `is' a consuming fire.

⁴¹ Then shall he say also to those on the left hand, Go ye from me, the cursed, to the fire, the age-during, that hath been prepared for the Devil and his messengers;

¹⁷ because it is the time of the beginning of the judgment from the house of God, and if first from us, what the end of those disobedient to the good news of God?

⁷ and the present heavens and the earth, by the same word are treasured, for fire being kept to a day of judgment and destruction of the impious men.

¹⁰ and it will come -- the day of the Lord -- as a thief in the night, in which the heavens with a rushing noise will pass away, and the elements with burning heat be dissolved, and earth and the works in it shall be burnt up.

¹¹ All these, then, being dissolved, what kind of persons doth it behove you to be in holy behaviours and pious acts?

¹² waiting for and hasting to the presence of the day of God, by which the heavens, being on fire, shall be dissolved, and the elements with burning heat shall melt;

¹⁰ and the Devil, who is leading them astray, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where `are' the beast and the false prophet, and they shall be tormented day and night -- to the ages of the ages.

¹⁴ and the death and the hades were cast to the lake of the fire -- this `is' the second death;

¹⁵ and if any one was not found written in the scroll of the life, he was cast to the lake of the fire.

¹ O thoughtless Galatians, who did bewitch you, not to obey the truth -- before whose eyes Jesus Christ was described before among you crucified?

⁵ reasonings bringing down, and every high thing lifted up against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of the Christ,

³⁴ awake up, as is right, and sin not; for certain have an ignorance of God; for shame to you I say `it'.

⁵ not in the affection of desire, as also the nations that were not knowing God,

²⁶ and now having been made manifest, also, through prophetic writings, according to a command of the age-during God, having been made known to all the nations for obedience of faith --

¹⁸ for I will not dare to speak anything of the things that Christ did not work through me, to obedience of nations, by word and deed,

¹⁰ and they were crying with a great voice, saying, `Till when, O Master, the Holy and the True, dost Thou not judge and take vengeance of our blood from those dwelling upon the land?'

¹⁶ But they were not all obedient to the good tidings, for Isaiah saith, `Lord, who did give credence to our report?'

³ how shall we escape, having neglected so great salvation? which a beginning receiving -- to be spoken through the Lord -- by those having heard was confirmed to us,

⁹ and having been made perfect, he did become to all those obeying him a cause of salvation age-during,

³⁰ for we have known Him who is saying, `Vengeance `is' Mine, I will recompense, saith the Lord;' and again, `The Lord shall judge His people;' --

⁸ By faith Abraham, being called, did obey, to go forth to the place that he was about to receive for an inheritance, and he went forth, not knowing whither he doth go;

² according to a foreknowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of the Spirit, to obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace be multiplied!

⁶ as Sarah was obedient to Abraham, calling him `sir,' of whom ye did become daughters, doing good, and not fearing any terror.

¹⁶ and they say to the mountains and to the rocks, `Fall upon us, and hide us from the face of Him who is sitting upon the throne, and from the anger of the Lamb,'

¹⁷ because come did the great day of His anger, and who is able to stand?

⁸ and to fearful, and unstedfast, and abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all the liars, their part `is' in the lake that is burning with fire and brimstone, which is a second death.'

⁴¹ If I have sharpened the brightness of My sword, And My hand doth lay hold on judgment, I turn back vengeance to Mine adversaries, And to those hating Me -- I repay!

⁴² I make drunk Mine arrows with blood, And My sword devoureth flesh, From the blood of the pierced and captive, From the head of the freemen of the enemy.

¹⁶ have ye not known that to whom ye present yourselves servants for obedience, servants ye are to him to whom ye obey, whether of sin to death, or of obedience to righteousness?

⁷ to those, indeed, who in continuance of a good work, do seek glory, and honour, and incorruptibility -- life age-during;

⁸ and to those contentious, and disobedient, indeed, to the truth, and obeying the unrighteousness -- indignation and wrath,

¹ God of vengeance -- Jehovah! God of vengeance, shine forth.

⁸ Thy hand cometh to all Thine enemies, Thy right hand doth find Thy haters.

⁹ Thou makest them as a furnace of fire, At the time of Thy presence. Jehovah in His anger doth swallow them, And fire doth devour them.

⁴⁴ At the hearing of the ear they hearken to me, Sons of a stranger feign obedience to me,

¹⁰ They trust in Thee who do know Thy name, For Thou hast not forsaken Those seeking Thee, O Jehovah.

⁹ Thou dost rule them with a sceptre of iron, As a vessel of a potter Thou dost crush them.'

¹⁰ And now, O kings, act wisely, Be instructed, O judges of earth,

¹¹ Serve ye Jehovah with fear, And rejoice with trembling.

¹² Kiss the Chosen One, lest He be angry, And ye lose the way, When His anger burneth but a little, O the happiness of all trusting in Him!

¹² and the sons of Eli `are' sons of worthlessness, they have not known Jehovah.

³⁵ Mine `are' vengeance and recompense, At the due time -- doth their foot slide; For near is a day of their calamity, And haste do things prepared for them.

⁵ I am standing between Jehovah and you, at that time, to declare to you the word of Jehovah, for ye have been afraid from the presence of the fire, and ye have not gone up into the mount; saying:

¹¹ and ye draw near and stand under the mountain, and the mountain is burning with fire unto the heart of the heavens -- darkness, cloud, yea, thick darkness:

² and Pharaoh saith, `Who `is' Jehovah, that I hearken to His voice, to send Israel away? I have not known Jehovah, and Israel also I do not send away.'

²⁴ yea, he casteth out the man, and causeth to dwell at the east of the garden of Eden the cherubs and the flame of the sword which is turning itself round to guard the way of the tree of life.

¹⁹ If ye are willing, and have hearkened, The good of the land ye consume,

¹¹ In the withering of its branch it is broken off, Women are coming in setting it on fire, For it `is' not a people of understanding, Therefore pity it not doth its Maker, And its Former doth not favour it.

²⁸ And, according as they did not approve of having God in knowledge, God gave them up to a disapproved mind, to do the things not seemly;

⁵ through whom we did receive grace and apostleship, for obedience of faith among all the nations, in behalf of his name;

⁷ And the word of God did increase, and the number of the disciples did multiply in Jerusalem exceedingly; a great multitude also of the priests were obedient to the faith.

¹⁹ They said, therefore, to him, `Where is thy father?' Jesus answered, `Ye have neither known me nor my Father: if me ye had known, my Father also ye had known.'

¹⁹ `And this is the judgment, that the light hath come to the world, and men did love the darkness rather than the light, for their works were evil;

⁴⁶ And these shall go away to punishment age-during, but the righteous to life age-during.'

⁶ And those removing from after Jehovah, And who have not sought Jehovah, nor besought Him.

¹⁰ A flood of fire is proceeding and coming forth from before Him, a thousand thousands do serve Him, and a myriad of myriads before Him do rise up, the Judge is seated, and the books have been opened.

⁶ thy dwelling `is' in the midst of deceit, Through deceit they refused to know Me, An affirmation of Jehovah.

⁴ For the day of vengeance `is' in my heart, And the year of my redeemed hath come.

⁵ And I look attentively, and there is none helping, And I am astonished that there is none supporting, And give salvation to me doth mine own arm. And my wrath -- it hath supported me.

⁶ And I tread down peoples in mine anger, And I make them drunk in my fury, And I bring down to earth their strength.

² To proclaim the year of the good pleasure of Jehovah, And the day of vengeance of our God, To comfort all mourners.

² From Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shone.

³ Our God cometh, and is not silent, Fire before Him doth devour, And round about him it hath been very tempestuous.

⁴ He doth call unto the heavens from above, And unto the earth, to judge His people.

⁵ Gather ye to Me My saints, Making covenant with Me over a sacrifice.

⁶ And the heavens declare His righteousness, For God Himself `is' judge. Selah.

³⁰ in distress `being' to thee, and all these things have found thee, in the latter end of the days, and thou hast turned back unto Jehovah thy God, and hast hearkened to His voice;
