"I, the Sovereign LORD, have spoken out in the heat of my anger against the surrounding nations, and especially against Edom. With glee and contempt they captured my land and took possession of its pastures.

"So prophesy to the land of Israel; tell the mountains, hills, brooks, and valleys what I, the Sovereign LORD, am saying in jealous anger because of the way the nations have insulted and humiliated them.

My anger will flame up like fire and burn everything on earth. It will reach to the world below and consume the roots of the mountains.

Then the earth trembled and shook; the foundations of the mountains rocked and quivered, because God was angry.

Smoke poured out of his nostrils, a consuming flame and burning coals from his mouth.

LORD, will you hide yourself forever? How long will your anger burn like fire?

The LORD God tolerates no rivals; he punishes those who oppose him. In his anger he pays them back.

because our God is indeed a destroying fire.
