18  ^oNeither their silver nor their gold

shall be able to deliver them

on the day of the wrath of the Lord.

^pIn the fire of his jealousy,

^qall the earth shall be consumed;

^rfor a full and sudden end

he will make of all the inhabitants of the earth.

8  “Therefore ^twait for me,” declares the Lord,

“for the day when I rise up to seize the prey.

For my decision is ^uto gather nations,

to assemble kingdoms,

to pour out upon them my indignation,

all my burning anger;

for in the fire of my jealousy

^vall the earth shall be consumed.
