And burns to the lowest part of Sheol,

And consumes the earth with its yield,

And sets on fire the foundations of the mountains.

Behold, the name of the Lord comes from a remote place;

Burning is His anger and dense is His smoke;

His lips are filled with indignation
And His tongue is like a consuming fire;

Rouse yourself! Rouse yourself! Arise, O Jerusalem,

You who have drunk from the Lord’s hand the cup of His anger;
The chalice of reeling you have drained to the dregs.

He has poured out His fierce anger;
And He has kindled a fire in Zion
Which has consumed its foundations.

Or He will break forth like a fire, O house of Joseph,
And it will consume with none to quench it for Bethel,

The day passes like the chaff—
Before the burning anger of the Lord comes upon you,
Before the day of the Lord’s anger comes upon you.

hell, into the unquenchable fire,
