roll you down from the cliffs,
and turn you into a charred mountain.
Look, the Lord is stripping the earth bare
and making it desolate.
He will twist its surface and scatter its inhabitants:
The earth will be stripped completely bare
and will be totally plundered,
for the Lord has spoken this message.
Their silver and their gold
will not be able to rescue them
on the day of the Lord’s wrath.
The whole earth will be consumed
by the fire of His jealousy.
For He will make a complete,
yes, a horrifying end
of all the inhabitants of the earth.
Therefore, wait for Me—
this is the Lord’s declaration—
until the day I rise up for plunder.
For My decision is to gather nations,
to assemble kingdoms,
in order to pour out My indignation on them,
all My burning anger;
for the whole earth will be consumed
by the fire of My jealousy.
Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, it is clear what sort of people you should be in holy conduct and godliness
as you wait for and earnestly desire the coming of the day of God. The heavens will be on fire and be dissolved because of it, and the elements will melt with the heat.
