No one knows the full power of your furious anger, but it is as great as the fear that we owe to you.
Our God, you are fearsome, and no one can oppose you when you are angry.
Those terrible sinners on Mount Zion tremble as they ask in fear, “How can we possibly live where a raging fire never stops burning?”
Then, if you still refuse to obey me, I will punish you seven times for each of your sins,
If you keep rebelling against me, I'll punish you seven times worse, just as your sins deserve!
I'll remain your enemy and punish you even worse.
I'll really get furious and punish you terribly for your sins!
Who can stand the heat of his furious anger? It flashes out like fire and shatters stones.
God is the one you must fear. Not only can he take your life, but he can throw you into hell. God is certainly the one you should fear!
We know what it means to respect the Lord, and we encourage everyone to turn to him. God himself knows what we are like, and I hope you also know what kind of people we are.
he will punish you and your descendants with incurable diseases,
That terrible day has come! God and the Lamb will show their anger, and who can face it?”
