the anger of Yahweh is kindled
"Yahweh is very angry"
He has reached out with his hand against them and has punished them
"he will punish them with his powerful hand"
their corpses are like garbage in the streets
The dead bodies are allowed to lie in the streets as if they were garbage. This implies that many will die but that no one will be there to bury them. The word "garbage" can also be translated as "refuse" or "manure."
In all these things, his anger does not subside; his hand
"Even though all these things have happened, he is still angry, and his hand"
his hand is still stretched out
"he will still be ready to punish them"
