20
The LORD will not pardon him, but then the LORD’s anger and his jealousy will smoke against that man, and all the curse that is written in this book will fall on him, and the LORD will blot out his name from under the sky.

ExplanationCommentary
Verse 20. Enkindled, (fumet.) Lit. “smoke.” Bible.—Hebrew “the anger (lit. nose) … smoke.” The Greeks and Romans adopt similar expressions, to denote the wrath and eagerness with which a person is actuated. “Fierce anger always sits upon his nose.” Theocrit. So Persius says, Disce, sed ira cadat naso, rugosaque sanna.
