Deuteronomy 32:22-44 For my wrath is a flaming fire, burning to the deep parts of the underworld, burning up the earth with her increase, and firing the deep roots of the mountains.

BBE⁽ⁱ⁾ ²² For my wrath is a flaming fire, burning to the deep parts of the underworld, burning up the earth with her increase, and firing the deep roots of the mountains. ²³ I will send a rain of troubles on them, my arrows will be showered on them. ²⁴ They will be wasted from need of food, and overcome by burning heat and bitter destruction; and the teeth of beasts I will send on them, with the poison of the worms of the dust. ²⁵ Outside they will be cut off by the sword, and in the inner rooms by fear; death will take the young man and the virgin, the baby at the breast and the grey-haired man. ²⁶ I said I would send them wandering far away, I would make all memory of them go from the minds of men: ²⁷ But for the fear that their haters, uplifted in their pride, might say, Our hand is strong, the Lord has not done all this. ²⁸ For they are a nation without wisdom; there is no sense in them. ²⁹ If only they were wise, if only this was clear to them, and they would give thought to their future! ³⁰ How would it be possible for one to overcome a thousand, and two to send ten thousand in flight, if their rock had not let them go, if the Lord had not given them up? ³¹ For their rock is not like our Rock, even our haters themselves being judges. ³² For their vine is the vine of Sodom, from the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes are the grapes of evil, and the berries are bitter: ³³ Their wine is the poison of dragons, the cruel poison of snakes. ³⁴ Is not this among my secrets, kept safe in my store-house? ³⁵ Punishment is mine and reward, at the time of the slipping of their feet: for the day of their downfall is near, sudden will be their fate. ³⁶ For the Lord will be judge of his people, he will have pity for his servants; when he sees that their power is gone, there is no one, shut up or free. ³⁷ And he will say, Where are their gods, the rock in which they put their faith? ³⁸ Who took the fat of their offerings, and the wine of their drink offering? Let them now come to your help, let them be your salvation. ³⁹ See now, I myself am he; there is no other god but me: giver of death and life, wounding and making well: and no one has power to make you free from my hand. ⁴⁰ For lifting up my hand to heaven I say, By my unending life, ⁴¹ If I make sharp my shining sword, and my hand is outstretched for judging, I will give punishment to those who are against me, and their right reward to my haters. ⁴² I will make my arrows red with blood, my sword will be feasting on flesh, with the blood of the dead and the prisoners, of the long-haired heads of my haters. ⁴³ Be glad, O you his people, over the nations; for he will take payment for the blood of his servants, and will give punishment to his haters, and take away the sin of his land, for his people. ⁴⁴ So Moses said all the words of this song in the hearing of the people, he and Hoshea, the son of Nun.
