25  Therefore ^gthe anger of the Lord was kindled against his people,

and he stretched out his hand against them and struck them,

and ^hthe mountains quaked;

and their corpses were ⁱas refuse

in the midst of the streets.

^jFor all this his anger has not turned away,

and his hand is stretched out still.

12  ^hThe Syrians on the east and ⁱthe Philistines on the west

devour Israel with open mouth.

^jFor all this his anger has not turned away,

and his hand is stretched out still.

17  Therefore the Lord does not ^orejoice over their young men,

and has no compassion on their fatherless and widows;

for everyone is ^pgodless and an evildoer,

and every mouth speaks ^qfolly.¹

^jFor all this his anger has not turned away,

and his hand is stretched out still.

19  Through the wrath of the Lord of hosts

the land is scorched,

and ^sthe people are like fuel for the fire;

^tno one spares another.

21  Manasseh devours Ephraim, and Ephraim devours Manasseh;

together they are ^wagainst Judah.

^xFor all this his anger has not turned away,

and his hand is stretched out still.

4  Nothing remains but to crouch among the prisoners

or fall among the slain.

^dFor all this his anger has not turned away,

and his hand is stretched out still.

5  Woe to Assyria, ^ethe rod of my anger;

the staff in their hands is my fury!

6  Against a ^fgodless nation I send him,

and against the people of my wrath I command him,

to take ^gspoil and seize plunder,

and to ^htread them down like the mire of the streets.

9  Behold, ⁿthe day of the Lord comes,

cruel, with wrath and fierce anger,

to make the land a desolation

and ^rto destroy its sinners from it.

13  Therefore ^zI will make the heavens tremble,

and the earth will be shaken out of its place,

at the wrath of the Lord of hosts

in the day of his fierce anger.

27  Behold, the name of the Lord comes from afar,

burning with his anger, and in thick rising smoke;¹

his lips are full of fury,

and his tongue is like a devouring fire;

2  For the Lord is enraged against all the nations,

and furious against all their host;

he has ^wdevoted them to destruction,¹ has given them over for slaughter.

18  ^tAccording to their deeds, so will he repay,

wrath to his adversaries, repayment to his enemies;

^uto the coastlands he will render repayment.

1  Who is this who comes from ^lEdom,

in crimsoned garments from ^lBozrah,

he who is splendid in his apparel,

^mmarching in the greatness of his strength?

“It is I, speaking in righteousness,

mighty to save.”

2  Why is your ⁿapparel red,

and your garments like his ^owho treads in the winepress?

3  ^p“I have trodden the winepress alone,

^qand from the peoples no one was with me;

I trod them in my anger

and trampled them in my wrath;

their lifeblood¹ spattered on my garments,

and stained all my apparel.

4  ^rFor the day of vengeance was in my heart,

and my year of redemption² had come.

5  I looked, but ^sthere was no one to help;

I was appalled, but there was no one to uphold;

so my own arm brought me salvation,

and my wrath upheld me.

6  I trampled down the peoples in my anger;

^tI made them drunk in my wrath,

and I poured out their lifeblood on the earth.”

15  “For behold, ^uthe Lord will come in fire,

and ^vhis chariots like the whirlwind,

to render his anger in fury,

and his rebuke with flames of fire.

16  For ^wby fire ^xwill the Lord enter into judgment,

and by his sword, with all flesh;

and those slain by the Lord shall be many.
