Therefore the Lord’s anger burns(A) against His people.
He raised His hand against them and struck them;

and their corpses were like garbage in the streets.
In all this, His anger is not removed,
and His hand is still raised to strike.(C)

None of them grows weary or stumbles;(F)
no one slumbers or sleeps.
No belt is loose

and all their bows strung.

their chariot wheels are like a whirlwind.

30 and all their bows strung.
Their horses’ hooves are like flint;
their chariot wheels are like a whirlwind.
On that day they will roar over it,
like the roaring of the sea.
When one looks at the land,
there will be darkness and distress;
light will be obscured by clouds.(a)
like the roaring of the sea.
When one looks at the land,
there will be darkness and distress;
light will be obscured by clouds.(a)
