"My right hand will not spare the sinners, and my sword will not cease from those who shed innocent blood on earth."
23
And a fire will go forth from his wrath, and will consume the foundations of the earth, and the sinners, like straw that is kindled.

"Woe to those who sin and do not observe my commandments," says the Lord;
25
"I will not spare them. Depart, you faithless children! Do not pollute my sanctuary."
26
For the Lord knows all who transgress against him; therefore he will hand them over to death and slaughter.
