  with the flames of divine wrath flashing about it,
  上帝的怒火燃烧闪烁
• 
  
  ready every moment to singe it and burn it asunder,
  你随时可能就此坠入火海 掉落地狱
• 
  
  and you have no interest in any mediator

• 
  
  and nothing to lay hold of save yourself,
  也没有什么可以抓住自救的东西
• 
  
  nothing to keep off the flames of wrath,
  没有什么可以阻挡上帝的怒火
• 
  
  nothing of your own, nothing that you have ever done,
  你无计可施 无法用曾经的丰功伟绩
• 
  
  nothing that you can do to induce God to spare you one moment."
  或做任何事 来劝服上帝饶你片刻

  I think--wow, that's sermonizing.
  我想那就是布道
• 
  
  That's "pow" in-your-face sermonizing.
  真是强有力的说教
