out of the camp to meet with God;

that from one new moon to another,
and from one sabbath to another,
shall all flesh come to worship before me,
saith the Lord.

that have transgressed against me:

neither shall their fire be quenched;
and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh.

in the cities of Judah
and in the streets of Jerusalem?

and the fathers kindle the fire,
and the women knead their dough,
to make cakes to the queen of heaven,
and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods,
that they may provoke me to anger.
19 Do they provoke me to anger?
saith the Lord:
do they not provoke themselves
to the confusion of their own faces?
20 Therefore thus saith the Lord God;
Behold,
mine anger and my fury
shall be poured out upon this place,
upon man,
and upon beast,
and upon the trees of the field,
and upon the fruit of the ground;
and it shall burn,
and shall not be quenched.

on the sabbath day;

and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem,
and it shall not be quenched.

yea,
and all that do wickedly,
shall be stubble:
and the day that cometh shall burn them up,
saith the Lord of hosts,
that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.
2 But unto you that fear my name
shall the Sun of righteousness arise
with healing in his wings;
and ye shall go forth,
and grow up as calves of the stall.
3 And ye shall tread down the wicked;
for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet
in the day that I shall do this,
saith the Lord of hosts.

hath power to cast into hell;

9 Who shall be punished
with everlasting destruction

(because our testimony among you was believed)
in that day.

10 The same shall drink of the wine
of the wrath of God,
which is poured out without mixture
into the cup of his indignation;
and he shall be tormented with fire
and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels,

ascendeth up for ever and ever:
and they have no rest day nor night,
who worship the beast and his image,
and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.

the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth,
and compassed the camp of the saints about,
and the beloved city:
and fire came down from God out of heaven,
and devoured them.

was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone,
where the beast and the false prophet are,
and shall be tormented day and night
for ever and ever.

which burneth with fire and brimstone:
