20. He said: “I will hide My face from them; I will see what will become of them,for they are a perverse generation —unfaithful children.
21. They have provoked My jealousywith their so-called gods; they have enraged Me with their worthless idols. So I will provoke their jealousywith an inferior people; I will enrage them with a foolish nation.
22. For fire has been kindled because of My angerand burns to the depths of Sheol; it devours the land and its produce,and scorches the foundations of the mountains.
23. “I will pile disasters on them;I will use up My arrows against them.
24. They will be weak from hunger,ravaged by pestilence and bitter plague;I will unleash on them wild beasts with fangs,as well as venomous snakes that slither in the dust.
25. Outside, the sword will take their children,and inside, there will be terror;the young man and the young woman will be killed,the infant and the gray-haired man.
