24 and my wrath will grow hot, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.
Pour out your indignation on them. Let the fierceness of your anger overtake them.
"This is the portion of a wicked man with God, The heritage of oppressors, which they receive from the Almighty. If his children are multiplied, it is for the sword. His offspring shall not be satisfied with bread. Those who remain of him shall be buried in death. His widows shall make no lamentation.
For calamity from God is a terror to me, By reason of his majesty I can do nothing.
Fire devoured their young men; Their virgins had no wedding song. Their priests fell by the sword, And their widows couldn't weep.
Who knows the power of your anger, Your wrath according to the fear that is due to you?
Therefore deliver up their children to the famine, and give them over to the power of the sword; and let their wives become childless, and widows; and let their men be slain of death, [and] their young men struck of the sword in battle.
Who can stand before his indignation? Who can endure the fierceness of his anger? His wrath is poured out like fire, and the rocks are broken apart by him.
But according to your hardness and unrepentant heart you are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath, revelation, and of the righteous judgment of God; who "will pay back to everyone according to their works:" to those who by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and incorruptibility, eternal life; but to those who are self-seeking, and don't obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, will be wrath and indignation, oppression and anguish, on every soul of man who works evil, on the Jew first, and also on the Greek.
