    and his chariots will be like the whirlwind;
to render his anger with fierceness,

15 Look, the Lord will come with fire(A)
his chariots are like the whirlwind(B)
to execute his anger with fury
and his rebuke with flames of fire.
16 For the Lord will execute judgment
on all humanity(C) with his fiery sword,
and many will be slain by the Lord.

17 “Those who dedicate and purify themselves to enter the groves(D) following their leader,[a] eating meat from pigs, vermin,[b] and rats, will perish together.”
