I will- punish all the proud/arrogant ones and (all who) do bad (thing) like the burning of straw. They will-be like a wood/tree which was-burned that not even a root and branch was-left.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)

  • English: “This is also what the Commander of the armies of angels says: ‘There will be a time that I will judge and punish people. When that happens, it will be like a very hot furnace. At that time, all the proud and wicked people will be burned up like stubble burns. They will be burned up completely, like roots and branches and everything else on a tree burns completely in a very hot fire.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
