The Second Part.
1 A fire also consumes amain, It famous Cities spoil; So thou wilt desolations make Of Sinners who are vile.
1 A fire also consumes amain, It famous Cities spoyl; So thou wilt desolations make Of Sinners who are vile.
2 Can stubble stand before fierce flames, And not consumed be? Then may proud wicked Ones likewise Secure themselves from thee.
3 None can abide thy dreadful wrath, There is no way to fly; For thou wilt them destroy, O God, As stubble fully dry.
4 Some fires may be quenched quite, But thine will always burn; Thy wrath, O Lord, eternal is, It never will be gone.
