Psalms 11: 6, 7 (NAS)
Upon
the wicked He will rain snares; Fire and brimstone and burning wind will be the
portion of their cup. For the LORD is righteous; He loves righteousness; The
upright will behold His face.
Psalms 11: 6, 7 (NIVUS)
On
the wicked he will rain fiery coals and burning sulfur; a scorching wind will
be their lot. For the LORD is righteous, he loves justice; upright men will see
his face.
You probably know that the fate of the wicked man, who refuses to repent and bow his knee to the Lord Most High, is vastly different than yours. You have submitted your life to the Lord Jesus Christ and you have a bright, beautiful future. However, these evil, violent men and women will be snared in the net that Adonai has spread before them. God will rain flaming hot fire and sulfur upon them, for they have aroused His anger. He shall send a horrible, violent wind to destroy their lives, since they have lived their lives in vanity. When the Lord God weighs them in the balance, these wicked criminals will find their portion is not what they expected. Their cups will be eternally filled with the same substance that they gave during their lives.
Jehovah is righteous and just; He loves righteousness, justice, and virtue. He sets His affection on you, cleansing you and making you right. You are constantly in His sight and His face is always turned in your direction. You are pleasing to Him. Because the Lord your God has made you upright, you now walk a straight and prosperous path. Adonai esteems you and will bless your future. There is no fire and brimstone laid up for you.
