# trembling has seized the godless ones
|

# Who among us ... burnings?
|
|
|
|
It is implied that the sinners in Zion ask these questions. Alternate translation: "They say, 'Who among us ... burnings?'" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-explicit]])

# Who among us can sojourn with a raging fire? Who among us can sojourn with everlasting burnings?
|
|
|
|
These rhetorial questions have basically the same meaning and emphasize that no one can live with fire. Here fire represents Yahweh's judgment. Alternate translation: "No one can live with raging fire! No one can sojourn where things are always burning!" or "No one can live bearing Yahweh's judgment, it is like an everlasting fire!" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-rquestion]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]])
