¹² For that would be a fire that consumes to destruction,
And would root out all my increase.

²⁷ Can a man take fire to his bosom,
And his clothes not be burned?

⁵ And I will come near you for judgment;
I will be a swift witness
Against sorcerers,
Against adulterers,
^(A)Against perjurers,
Against those who ^(B)exploit wage earners and ^(C)widows and orphans,
And against those who turn away an alien—
Because they do not fear Me,”
Says the Lord of hosts.

^33 (A)The curse of the Lord is on the house of the wicked,
But ^(B)He blesses the home of the just.

^6 (A)Sheol is naked before Him,
And Destruction has no covering.

²⁸ The increase of his house will depart,
And his goods will flow away in the day of His ^(A)wrath.

³⁰ He will not depart from darkness;
The flame will dry out his branches,
And ^(A)by the breath of His mouth he will go away.
