²⁴ Therefore, ^(A)as the tongue of fire devours the stubble,
    and as dry grass sinks down in the flame,
so ^(B)their root will be ^(C)as rottenness,
    and their blossom go up like dust;
for they have ^(D)rejected the law of the Lord of hosts,
    and have ^(E)despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
²⁵ Therefore ^(F)the anger of the Lord was kindled against his people,
    and he stretched out his hand against them and struck them,
    and ^(G)the mountains quaked;
and their corpses were ^(H)as refuse
    in the midst of the streets.
^(I)For all this his anger has not turned away,
    and his hand is stretched out still.
