Fear shall come upon him. ²⁶ There shall no darkness be able to hide him. An unkindled fire shall consume him; and look, what remaineth in his house, it shall be destroyed. ²⁷ The heaven shall declare his wickedness, and the earth shall take part against him. ²⁸ The substance that he hath in his house, shall be taken away and perish, in the day of the LORD's wrath. ²⁹ This is the portion that the wicked shall have of God, and the heritage that he may look for of the LORD."
