24 Therefore, as fire eats up the stubble and dry grass is engulfed by flames,
    so it will be for everything they count on for the future—
Their roots will rot, their flowers will wither and fly away like dust,
    for they refused to accept the law of the Eternal, the Commander of heavenly armies;
They derided and disparaged the word of the Holy One of Israel.

25 It’s no wonder the Eternal burns with anger at His people.
    He has raised His hand against them and crushed them,
So that the whole earth rang with the blow, and you couldn’t move
    without stumbling over their corpses lying like trash in the street.
Despite all this, He’s still very angry;
    His hand is still raised; He’s not done yet.

    his hand is raised and he strikes them down.

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