12 ·People [or The nations] will be burned ·until their bones become like lime [to ashes/lime];
    they will burn quickly like ·dry [cut] thornbushes.”

13 You people in faraway lands, hear what I have done.
    You people who are near me, ·learn about [or acknowledge] my ·power [might].
14 The sinners in ·Jerusalem [L Zion; 1:27] are afraid;
    those who are ·separated from God [godless] shake with fear.
They say, “·Can any of us [L Who can] live through this fire that ·destroys [consumes; devours]?
    Who can live near this ·fire that burns on and on [unquenchable/everlasting burning]?”
