“Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Behold, mine anger and my fury shall be poured out upon this place, upon man, and upon beast, and upon the trees of the field, and upon the fruit of the ground; and it shall burn, and shall not be quenched.”
The encompassing judgment: 'Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: My anger and my wrath will be poured out on this place, on man and beast, on the trees of the field and on the crops of your land, and it will burn and not be quenched.' This verse announces that God's anger will extend to all creation: 'man and beast...trees...crops.' The phrase 'it will burn and not be quenched' suggests an all-consuming fire that cannot be extinguished. Theologically, this verse indicates that judgment is comprehensive, affecting not merely the people but the entire created order.
