24 Therefore, (A)as the [a]fire devours the stubble,
And the flame consumes the chaff,
So (B)their root will be as rottenness,
And their blossom will ascend like dust;
Because they have rejected the law of the Lord of hosts,
And despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
25 (C)Therefore the anger of the Lord is aroused against His people;
He has stretched out His hand against them
And stricken them,
And (D)the hills trembled.
Their carcasses were as refuse in the midst of the streets.

(E)For all this His anger is not turned away,
But His hand is stretched out still.

26 (F)He will lift up a banner to the nations from afar,
And will (G)whistle to them from (H)the end of the earth;
Surely (I)they shall come with speed, swiftly.
