22 For a fire breaks out in my anger—
    burning to the deepest part of[a] the afterlife,[b]
consuming the earth and its produce
    and igniting the foundations of the mountains.
23 I’ll bury them in misfortunes
    and bring them to an end with my arrows.

    feverish from plague,
    and destroyed by bitterness,

    along with poisonous snakes that glide through the dust.
