And burns to the lowest part of Sheol,

And consumes the earth with its yield,

And sets on fire the foundations of the mountains.

You will make them as a fiery oven in the time of your anger;
The Lord will swallow them up in His wrath,
And fire will devour them.

For

Indeed, it has been prepared for the king.
He has made it deep and large,

A pyre of fire with plenty of wood;

The breath of the Lord, like a torrent of brimstone, sets it afire.

Sinners in Zion are terrified;

Trembling has seized the godless.

Who among us can live with continual burning?”

O house of David, thus says the Lord:
“Administer justice every morning;
And deliver the person who has been robbed from the power of his oppressor,

That My wrath may not go forth like fire

And burn with none to extinguish it,
Because of the evil of their deeds.

Who can stand before His indignation?

Who can endure the burning of His anger?
His wrath is poured out like fire
And the rocks are broken up by Him.

Neither their silver nor their gold
Will be able to deliver them
On the day of the Lord’s wrath;
And all the earth will be devoured
In the fire of His jealousy,
For He will make a complete end,
Indeed a terrifying one,
Of all the inhabitants of the earth.

for our God is a consuming fire.

With abominations they provoked Him to anger.

You shall not worship them or serve them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and the fourth generations of those who hate Me,

—for you shall not worship any other god, for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God—

For they provoked Him with their high places
And aroused His jealousy with their graven images.

“I am the Lord, that is My name;
I will not give My glory to another,
Nor My praise to graven images.

A jealous and avenging God is the Lord;
The Lord is avenging and wrathful.
The Lord takes vengeance on His adversaries,
And He reserves wrath for His enemies.

“Therefore wait for Me,” declares the Lord,
“For the day when I rise up as a witness.
Indeed, My decision is to gather nations,
To assemble kingdoms,
To pour out on them My indignation,
All My burning anger;
For all the earth will be devoured
By the fire of My zeal.

Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? We are not stronger than He, are we?
