24  Therefore, as the tongue of fire devours the stubble,

and as dry grass sinks down in the flame,

so their root will be as rottenness,

and their blossom go up like dust;

for they have ^qrejected the law of the Lord of hosts,

and have despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.

14  Fear not, you worm Jacob,

you men of Israel!

I am the one who helps you, declares the Lord;

^oyour Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel.

16  you shall winnow them, and the wind shall carry them away,

and the tempest shall scatter them.

And you shall rejoice in the Lord;

in the Holy One of Israel you shall ^qglory.
