⁴ “In that day^(A) the glory^(B) of Jacob will fade;
    the fat of his body will waste^(C) away.

¹⁶ Therefore, the Lord, the Lord Almighty,
    will send a wasting disease^(A) upon his sturdy warriors;^(B)
under his pomp^(C) a fire^(D) will be kindled
    like a blazing flame.

¹⁵ Jeshurun^[a](A) grew fat^(B) and kicked;
    filled with food, they became heavy and sleek.
They abandoned^(C) the God who made them
    and rejected the Rock^(D) their Savior.
¹⁶ They made him jealous^(E) with their foreign gods
    and angered^(F) him with their detestable idols.
¹⁷ They sacrificed^(G) to false gods,^(H) which are not God—
    gods they had not known,^(I)
    gods that recently appeared,^(J)
    gods your ancestors did not fear.
¹⁸ You deserted the Rock, who fathered you;
    you forgot^(K) the God who gave you birth.

¹⁹ The Lord saw this and rejected them^(L)
    because he was angered by his sons and daughters.^(M)
20 “I will hide my face^(N) from them,” he said,
    “and see what their end will be;
for they are a perverse generation,^(O)
    children who are unfaithful.^(P)
21 They made me jealous^(Q) by what is no god
    and angered me with their worthless idols.^(R)
I will make them envious by those who are not a people;
    I will make them angry by a nation that has no understanding.^(S)
22 For a fire will be kindled by my wrath,^(T)
    one that burns down to the realm of the dead below.^(U)
It will devour^(V) the earth and its harvests^(W)
    and set afire the foundations of the mountains.^(X)

²³ “I will heap calamities^(Y) on them
    and spend my arrows^(Z) against them.
²⁴ I will send wasting famine^(AA) against them,
    consuming pestilence^(AB) and deadly plague;^(AC)
I will send against them the fangs of wild beasts,^(AD)
    the venom of vipers^(AE) that glide in the dust.^(AF)
25 In the street the sword will make them childless;
    in their homes terror^(AG) will reign.^(AH)
The young men and young women will perish,
    the infants and those with gray hair.^(AI)
26 I said I would scatter^(AJ) them
    and erase their name from human memory,^(AK)
27 but I dreaded the taunt of the enemy,
    lest the adversary misunderstand^(AL)
and say, ‘Our hand has triumphed;
    the Lord has not done all this.’”^(AM)

¹¹ The Lord will be awesome^(A) to them
    when he destroys all the gods^(B) of the earth.^(C)
Distant nations will bow down to him,^(D)
    all of them in their own lands.

¹⁶ From the ends of the earth^(A) we hear singing:^(B)
    “Glory^(C) to the Righteous One.”^(D)

But I said, “I waste away, I waste away!^(E)
    Woe^(F) to me!
The treacherous^(G) betray!
    With treachery the treacherous betray!^(H)”

¹³ So will it be on the earth
    and among the nations,
as when an olive tree is beaten,^(A)
    or as when gleanings are left after the grape harvest.^(B)

⁴ Nothing will remain but to cringe among the captives^(A)
    or fall among the slain.^(B)

Yet for all this, his anger is not turned away,^(C)
    his hand is still upraised.

²¹     Manasseh will feed on Ephraim, and Ephraim on Manasseh;^(A)
    together they will turn against Judah.^(B)

Yet for all this, his anger is not turned away,
    his hand is still upraised.^(C)
