47 (H21-3) e di’ alla selva del Mezzodì: Ascolta la parola del Signore: Così ha detto il Signore Iddio: Ecco, io accendo in te un fuoco che consumerà in te ogni albero verde, ed ogni albero secco; la fiamma del suo incendio non si spegnerà, ed ogni faccia ne sarà divampata, dal Mezzodì fino al Settentrione.


To many Protestant and Evangelical Italians, the Bibles translated by Giovanni Diodati are an important part of their history. Diodati’s first Italian Bible edition was printed in 1607, and his second in 1641. He died in 1649. Throughout the 1800s two editions of Diodati’s text were printed by the British Foreign Bible Society. This is the more recent 1894 edition, translated by Claudiana.

Commentary

 

Wrath

  

'Great wrath,' as in Revelation 12:12, signifies hatred against the new church.

'Wrath,' as in Genesis 49:7, signifies aversion from truth.
