Therefirewill consumeyou, The swordwill cutyou down;It will consumeyou as the locust[does]. Multiplyyourself like the creepinglocust,Multiplyyourself like the swarminglocust.
But the Jewswho disbelievedstirredup the mindsof the Gentilesand embitteredthem againstthe brethren.
Among theseare Hymenaeusand Alexander,whomI have handed overto Satan,sothat they will be taughtnot to blaspheme.
Your goldand your silverhave rusted;and their rustwill be a witnessagainst you and will consumeyour fleshlikefire.It is in the lastdaysthat you have stored up your treasure!
