Thereforethe LORDheardand was fullof wrath;And a firewas kindledagainst JacobAnd angeralsomountedagainst Israel,
For sevenwomenwill takeholdof onemanin that day,saying,"We will eatour own breadand wearour own clothes,onlylet us be calledby your name;takeawayour reproach!"
For thussaysthe LORDof hosts,the Godof Israel:"Behold,I am going to eliminatefrom thisplace,before your eyesand in your time,the voiceof rejoicingand the voiceof gladness,the voiceof the groomand the voiceof the bride.
Moreover, I will takefrom them the voiceof joyand the voiceof gladness,the voiceof the bridegroomand the voiceof the bride,the soundof the millstonesand the lightof the lamp.
"Then I will make to ceasefrom the citiesof Judahand from the streetsof Jerusalemthe voiceof joyand the voiceof gladness,the voiceof the bridegroomand the voiceof the bride;for the landwill becomea ruin.
Now the peoplebecamelike those who complainof adversityin the hearingof the LORD;and when the LORDheard[it], His angerwas kindled,and the fireof the LORDburnedamong them and consumed[some] of the outskirtsof the camp.
"The LORDshall neverbe willingto forgivehim, but ratherthe angerof the LORDand His jealousywill burnagainst that man,and everycursewhich is writtenin thisbookwill reston him, and the LORDwill blotout his namefrom underheaven.
For a fireis kindledin My anger,And burnsto the lowestpartof Sheol,And consumesthe earthwith its yield,And setson firethe foundationsof the mountains.
