Hebrews 10:27
Expectation (ekdoxh). Usually reception or interpretation from ekdexomai (Hebrews 11:10), only here in N.T. and in unusual sense like prosdokia, like apekdexomai (Romans 8:19, Romans 8:23, Romans 8:25), this sense apparently "coined by the writer" (Moffatt) from his use of ekdexomai in Hebrews 10:13. The papyri have it in the sense of interpretation.
A fierceness of fire (purov zhlov). An anger (zeal, jealousy) marked (genitive) by fire. Language kin to that in Isaiah 26:11; 1:19; Psalms 79:5. See also II Thessalonians 1:8-10 for a like picture of destined doom.
Devour (esqiein). "To eat" (figuratively), present active infinitive.
The adversaries (touv upenantiouv). Old double compound adjective (upo, en, antiov), in N.T. only here and Colossians 2:14. Those directly opposite.
