The LORD says, "The people of Moab have sinned again and again, and for this I will certainly punish them. They dishonored the bones of the king of Edom by burning them to ashes.

The wickedness of the people burns like a fire that destroys thorn bushes and thistles. It burns like a forest fire that sends up columns of smoke.

I am no longer angry with the vineyard. If there were thorns and briers to fight against, I would burn them up completely.

An angel of the LORD went to the Assyrian camp and killed 185,000 soldiers. At dawn the next day there they lay, all dead!

But godless people are like thorns that are thrown away; no one can touch them barehanded.

You must use an iron tool or a spear; they will be burned completely.
