15 For look! Yahweh will come in fire,
    and his chariots like the storm wind,
to give back[a] his anger in wrath,
    and his rebuke in flames of fire.
16 For Yahweh enters into judgment on all flesh with fire and his sword,
    and those slain by[b] Yahweh shall be many.
17 Those who sanctify themselves
    and those who cleanse themselves to go into[c] the gardens after the one in the middle,
eating the flesh of swine
    and detestable things[d] and rodents[e] together

shall come to an end!” declares[f] Yahweh.
