20 And He said: ‘I will hide My face from them,I will see what their end will be,For they are a perverse generation,Children in whom is no faith.
21 They have provoked Me to jealousy by what is not God;They have moved Me to anger by their foolish idols.But I will provoke them to jealousy by those who are not a nation;I will move them to anger by a foolish nation.
22 For a fire is kindled in My anger,And shall burn to the lowest hell;It shall consume the earth with her increase,And set on fire the foundations of the mountains.
23 ‘I will heap disasters on them;I will spend My arrows on them.
24 They shall be wasted with hunger,Devoured by pestilence and bitter destruction;I will also send against them the teeth of beasts,With the poison of serpents of the dust.
25 The sword shall destroy outside;There shall be terror withinFor the young man and virgin,The nursing child with the man of gray hairs.
26 I would have said, “I will dash them in pieces,I will make the memory of them to cease from among men,”
