⁸ For this ^(A)put on sackcloth,
    lament and wail,
for ^(B)the fierce anger of the Lord
    has not turned back from us.”

²⁶ I looked, and behold, the ^(A)fruitful land was a desert,
    and all its cities were laid in ruins
    before the Lord, before ^(B)his fierce anger.

^{37     (A)}and the peaceful folds are devastated
    ^(B)because of the fierce anger of the Lord.
³⁸ Like a lion ^(C)he has left his lair,
    for their land has become a waste
because of ^(D)the sword of the oppressor,
    ^(E)and because of his fierce anger.”

^24 (A)The fierce anger of the Lord will not turn back
    until he has executed and accomplished
    the intentions of his mind.
^(B)In the latter days you will understand this.
