20 He said: I will hide My face from them;
    I will see what their end will be,
for they are a very perverse generation,
    children in whom there is no loyalty.
21 They have made Me jealous with that which is not God;
    they have provoked Me to anger with their empty things.
And I will make them jealous of those who are not a people;
    I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.

    and it will burn to the lowest part of Sheol,[a]
and shall consume the earth and its produce,
    and ignite the foundations of the mountains.
