²⁷ Behold, the name of the Lord comes from afar,
    burning with his anger, and in thick rising smoke;^[a]
his lips are full of fury,
    and his tongue is like a devouring fire;

⁸ “Therefore ^(A)wait for me,” declares the Lord,
    “for the day when I rise up to seize the prey.
For my decision is ^(B)to gather nations,
    to assemble kingdoms,
to pour out upon them my indignation,
    all my burning anger;
for in the fire of my jealousy
    ^(C)all the earth shall be consumed.

^6 (D)Who can stand before his indignation?
    Who can endure the heat of his anger?
His wrath ^(E)is poured out like fire,
    and ^(F)the rocks are broken into pieces by him.

^(A)thrones were placed,
    and the ^(B)Ancient of Days took his seat;
^(C)his clothing was white as snow,
    and ^(D)the hair of his head like pure wool;
his throne was fiery flames;
    ^(E)its wheels were burning fire.

¹² “Is it nothing to you, all ^(A)you who pass by?
    ^(B)Look and see
if there is any sorrow like my sorrow,
    which was brought upon me,
which ^(C)the Lord inflicted
    on ^(D)the day of his fierce anger.

¹³ “From on high he ^(E)sent fire;
    into my bones^[a] he made it descend;
^(F)he spread a net for my feet;
    he turned me back;
^(G)he has left me stunned,
    faint all the day long.
