You burn them up like a fiery furnace when you appear; the Lord angrily devours them; the fire consumes them.

The Lord’s shout strikes with flaming fire.

Fire consumed their young men, and their virgins remained unmarried.

Fire goes before him; on every side it burns up his enemies.

He makes the winds his messengers, and the flaming fire his attendant.

He sent hail along with the rain; there was lightning in their land.

He spread out a cloud for a cover, and provided a fire to light up the night.

Fire burned their group; the flames scorched the wicked.

From the brightness in front of him came hail and fiery coals.

You allowed men to ride over our heads; we passed through fire and water, but you brought us out into a wide open place.

They set your sanctuary on fire; they desecrate your dwelling place by knocking it to the ground.

He led them with a cloud by day, and with the light of a fire all night long.

It is burned and cut down. They die because you are displeased with them.

Like the fire that burns down the forest, or the flames that consume the mountainsides,

O fire and hail, snow and clouds, O stormy wind that carries out his orders,

May the Lord rain down burning coals and brimstone on the wicked! A whirlwind is what they deserve!

Smoke ascended from his nose; fire devoured as it came from his mouth; he hurled down fiery coals.

The Lord thundered in the sky; the sovereign One shouted.

my anxiety intensified. As I thought about it, I became impatient. Finally I spoke these words:

Our God approaches and is not silent; consuming fire goes ahead of him and all around him a storm rages.
