Ezekiel 20:47-48
47Say to the forest of the Negeb, Hear the word of the Lord: Thus says the Lord God, Behold, aI will kindle a fire in you, and it shall devour every bgreen tree in you and every cdry tree. The blazing flame shall not be quenched, and dall faces from south to north shall be scorched by it. 48 eAll flesh shall see that I the Lord have kindled it; it shall not be quenched.”Ezekiel 22:18-22
18 f“Son of man, the house of Israel has become gdross to me; all of them are hbronze and tin and iron and lead in the furnace; they are idross of silver. 19Therefore thus says the Lord God: Because you have all become dross, therefore, behold, I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem. 20As one gathers silver and bronze and iron and lead and tin into a furnace, jto blow the fire on it in order to melt it, so I will gather you kin my anger and in my wrath, and I will put you in and melt you. 21I will gather you and blow on you with the fire of my wrath, and you shall be melted in the midst of it. 22As silver is melted in a furnace, so you shall be melted in the midst of it, and you shall know that I am the Lord; lI have poured out my wrath upon you.”Ezekiel 22:31
31Therefore mI have poured out my indignation upon them. I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath. I have returned ntheir way upon their heads, declares the Lord God.”Ezekiel 24:8-14
8To rouse my wrath, to take vengeance, I have set on the bare rock the blood she has shed, that it may not be covered. 9Therefore thus says the Lord God: Woe to the bloody city! oI also will make the pile great. 10Heap on the logs, kindle the fire, boil the meat well, mix in the spices, ▼▼Or empty out the broth
and let the bones be burned up. 11Then set it empty upon the coals, that it may become hot, and its copper may burn, qthat its uncleanness may be melted in it, its corrosion consumed. 12 rShe has wearied herself with toil; ▼▼The meaning of the Hebrew is uncertain
its abundant corrosion does not go out of it. Into the fire with its corrosion! 13On account of your unclean lewdness, because I would have cleansed you and you were not cleansed from your uncleanness, tyou shall not be cleansed anymore till uI have satisfied my fury upon you. 14 vI am the Lord. I have spoken; it shall come to pass; I will do it. I will not go back; wI will not spare; xI will not relent; yaccording to your ways and your deeds you will be judged, declares the Lord God.” Nahum 1:6
6 zWho can stand before his indignation?Who can endure the heat of his anger?
His wrath aais poured out like fire,
and abthe rocks are broken into pieces by him.
Zephaniah 1:18
18 acNeither their silver nor their goldshall be able to deliver them
on the day of the wrath of the Lord.
adIn the fire of his jealousy,
aeall the earth shall be consumed;
affor a full and sudden end
he will make of all the inhabitants of the earth.
