24 and Mine anger hath burned, and I have slain you by the sword, and your wives have been widows, and your sons orphans.
Pour upon them Thine indignation, And the fierceness of Thine anger doth seize them.
This `is' the portion of wicked man with God, And the inheritance of terrible ones From the Mighty they receive. If his sons multiply -- for them `is' a sword. And his offspring `are' not satisfied `with' bread. His remnant in death are buried, And his widows do not weep.
For a dread unto me `is' calamity `from' God, And because of His excellency I am not able.
His young men hath fire consumed, And His virgins have not been praised. His priests by the sword have fallen, And their widows weep not.
Who knoweth the power of Thine anger? And according to Thy fear -- Thy wrath?
Therefore, give up their sons to famine, And cause them to run on the sides of the sword, And their wives are bereaved and widows, And their men are slain by death, Their young men smitten by sword in battle,
Before His indignation who doth stand? And who riseth up in the heat of His anger? His fury hath been poured out like fire, And the rocks have been broken by Him.
but, according to thy hardness and impenitent heart, thou dost treasure up to thyself wrath, in a day of wrath and of the revelation of the righteous judgment of God, who shall render to each according to his works; to those, indeed, who in continuance of a good work, do seek glory, and honour, and incorruptibility -- life age-during; and to those contentious, and disobedient, indeed, to the truth, and obeying the unrighteousness -- indignation and wrath, tribulation and distress, upon every soul of man that is working the evil, both of Jew first, and of Greek;
