Deuteronomy 32:22

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.

Deuteronomy 32:24

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.

[32:22]  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.”

[32:24]  ² tn The Hebrew term קֶטֶב (qetev) is probably metaphorical here for the sting of a disease (HALOT 1091-92 s.v.).
