and whose law they would not obey?
25 So he poured on him the heat of his anger
and the might of battle;
it set him on fire all around, kbut he did not understand;
it burned him up, lbut he did not take it to heart.

the violence of war.
It enveloped them in flames, yet they did not understand;
it consumed them, but they did not take it to heart.

And it hath set him on fire round about, yet he knew not;
And it burned him, yet he laid it not to heart.

but they still refused to understand.
They were consumed by fire,
but they did not learn their lesson.

Yet he did not take it to heart.

and did not obey his teaching.

but they didn’t know what was happening.
It was as if they were burning,
but they didn’t pay any attention.
