¹⁵ For behold, the Lord will come in ^(A)fire,
And His ^(B)chariots like the whirlwind,
To render His anger with fury,
And His rebuke with flames of fire.
¹⁶ For the Lord will execute judgment by ^(C)fire
And by His ^(D)sword on ^[a]humanity,
And those put to death by the Lord will be many.

⁵ Why have I seen it?
They are terrified,
They are ^(A)retreating,
And their ^(B)warriors are defeated
And have taken refuge in flight,
Without facing back.
^[a](C)Terror is on every side!”
Declares the Lord.
