He sentupon them His burninganger,Furyand indignationand trouble,A bandof destroyingangels.
When the angelstretchedout his handtoward Jerusalemto destroyit, the LORDrelentedfrom the calamityand saidto the angelwho destroyedthe people,"It is enough!Nowrelaxyour hand!"And the angelof the LORDwas by the threshingfloorof Araunahthe Jebusite.
Then the LORDsaidto Satan,"Behold,allthat he has is in your power,onlydo not putforthyour handon him." So Satandepartedfrom the presenceof the LORD.
"When he fillshis belly,[God] will sendHis fierceangeron him And will rain[it] on him while he is eating.
Upon the wickedHe will rainsnares;Fireand brimstoneand burningwindwill be the portionof their cup.
The bloodshall be a signfor you on the houseswhereyou live; and when I seethe bloodI will passoveryou, and noplaguewill befallyou to destroy[you] when I strikethe landof Egypt.
"And in the greatnessof Your excellenceYou overthrowthose who riseup against You; You sendforth Your burninganger,[and] it consumesthem as chaff.
So He pouredout on him the heatof His angerAnd the fiercenessof battle;And it sethim aflameallaround,Yet he did not recognize[it]; And it burnedhim, but he paidnoattention.
The LORDhas accomplishedHis wrath,He has pouredout His fierceanger;And He has kindleda firein ZionWhich has consumedits foundations.
"Thereforewaitfor Me," declaresthe LORD,"For the daywhen I riseup as a witness.Indeed,My decisionis to gathernations,To assemblekingdoms,To pourout on them My indignation,AllMy burninganger;For allthe earthwill be devouredBy the fireof My zeal.
