²⁴ Therefore, ^(A)as a tongue of fire consumes stubble,
And dry grass collapses in the flame,
So their ^(B)root will become ^(C)like rot, and their blossom ^[a]blow away like dust;
For they have ^(D)rejected the Law of the Lord of armies,
And discarded the word of the Holy One of Israel.
²⁵ For this reason the ^(E)anger of the Lord has burned against His people,
And He has stretched out His hand against them and struck them.
And the ^(F)mountains quaked, and their ^(G)corpses ^[b]lay like refuse in the middle of the streets.
^(H)Despite all this, His anger ^[c]is not spent,
But His ^(I)hand is still stretched out.
