32:22 For a fire has been kindled by my anger,
and it burns to lowest Sheol; 1
it consumes the earth and its produce,
and ignites the foundations of the mountains.
32:24 They will be starved by famine,
eaten by plague, and bitterly stung; 2
I will send the teeth of wild animals against them,
along with the poison of creatures that crawl in the dust.
1 tn Or “to the lowest depths of the earth”; cf. NAB “to the depths of the nether world”; NIV “to the realm of death below”; NLT “to the depths of the grave.”
2 tn The Hebrew term קֶטֶב (qetev) is probably metaphorical here for the sting of a disease (HALOT 1091-92 s.v.).
