13:9 Look, the Lord’s day of judgment 1 is coming;
it is a day of cruelty and savage, raging anger, 2
destroying 3 the earth 4
and annihilating its sinners.
33:14 Sinners are afraid in Zion;
panic 5 grips the godless. 6
They say, 7 ‘Who among us can coexist with destructive fire?
Who among us can coexist with unquenchable 8 fire?’
