47 Say to the forest of the Negeb, Hear the word of the Lord: Thus says the Lord God, Behold, (A)I will kindle a fire in you, and it shall devour every (B)green tree in you and every (C)dry tree. The blazing flame shall not be quenched, and (D)all faces from south to north shall be scorched by it.

Judgment on the Whole Earth

24 Behold, (A)the Lord will empty the earth[a] and make it desolate,
    and he will twist its surface and scatter its inhabitants.
(B)And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest;
    as with the slave, so with his master;
    as with the maid, so with her mistress;
(C)as with the buyer, so with the seller;
    as with the lender, so with the borrower;
    (D)as with the creditor, so with the debtor.
(E)The earth shall be utterly empty and utterly plundered;
    (F)for the Lord has spoken this word.

(G)The earth mourns and withers;
    the world languishes and withers;
    the highest people of the earth languish.
The earth lies (H)defiled
    under its inhabitants;
for (I)they have transgressed the laws,
    violated the statutes,
    broken the everlasting covenant.
Therefore (J)a curse devours the earth,
    and its inhabitants (K)suffer for their guilt;
therefore the inhabitants of the earth are scorched,
    and few men are left.

18 For wickedness burns like (A)a fire;
    it consumes briers and thorns;
it kindles the thickets of the forest,
    and they roll upward in a column of smoke.
19 Through the wrath of the Lord of hosts
    the land is scorched,
and (B)the people are like fuel for the fire;
    (C)no one spares another.

43 (A)And if your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life crippled than with two hands to go to (B)hell,[a] to (C)the unquenchable fire.[b] 45 (D)And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life lame than with two feet to be thrown into (E)hell. 47 (F)And if your eye causes you to sin, tear it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than with two eyes to be thrown into (G)hell, 48 ‘where (H)their worm does not die and the fire is not quenched.’ 49 For everyone will be salted with fire.[c]

and say to the land of Israel, Thus says the Lord: (A)Behold, I am against you and will draw (B)my sword from its sheath and (C)will cut off from you both righteous and wicked.

Therefore thus says the Lord God: (A)Like the wood of the vine among the trees of the forest, (B)which I have given to the fire for fuel, so have I given up the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
