20 And He said: ‘I will hide My face from them, I will see what their end willbe, For they are a perverse generation, aChildren in whom is no faith.
21aThey have provoked Me to jealousy by what is not God; They have moved Me to anger bby their foolish idols. But cI will provoke them to jealousy by thosewhoare not a nation; I will move them to anger by a foolish nation.
22 For aa fire is kindled in My anger, And shall burn to the1 lowest hell; It shall consume the earth with her increase, And set on fire the foundations of the mountains.
23 ‘I will aheap disasters on them; bI will spend My arrows on them.
24Theyshallbe wasted with hunger, Devoured by pestilence and bitter destruction; I will also send against them the ateeth of beasts, With the poison of serpents of the dust.
A fire is kindled - Great and grievous judgments shall be inflicted, which often come under the name of fire. Are they proud of their plenty? It shall burn up the increase of the earth. Are they confident of their strength? It shall destroy the very foundations of the mountains. It shall burn unto the lowest hell: it shall bring them to the very depth of misery in this world, which yet will he but a faint resemblance of their endless misery in the next.
