15 For behold, the Lord will come in (A)fire,
And His (B)chariots like the whirlwind,
To render His anger with fury,
And His rebuke with flames of fire.
16 For the Lord will execute judgment by (C)fire
And by His (D)sword on [a]humanity,
And those put to death by the Lord will be many.
17 “Those who sanctify and purify themselves to go to the (E)gardens,
[b]Following one in the center,
Who eat (F)pig’s flesh, detestable things, and mice,
Will (G)come to an end altogether,” declares the Lord.

16 The Lord will punish the world by fire
    and by his sword.
He will judge the earth,
    and many will be killed by him.
