20 He said, “I will turn ·away [L my face away] from them
    and see what ·will happen to them [their end will be].
They are ·evil people [L a perverted generation],
    ·unfaithful [untrustworthy] children.
21 They used things that are not gods to make me jealous [4:24]
    and ·worthless idols [vanities; vain idols] to make me angry.
So I will use those who are not a nation to make them jealous;
    I will use a nation that ·does not understand [L is foolish] to make them angry.
22 My anger has started a fire
    that burns down to ·the place of the dead [L Sheol; C the grave or the underworld].
It will ·burn up [consume] the ·ground [or earth] and its ·crops [produce],
    and it will set fire to the ·base [foundations] of the mountains.
