dire

Dire enmity between them and the one

That which I speak--God's dire incoming flood,

To another, but dire wickedness shall be

And this is the beginning of dire war

Which dwell on earth the Highest shall send dire plague.

Shall by war and dire tumult bring delight

Much-wailing Maenad, suffering, dire ills,

By rout of earthquake. But the Parthians dire

And the dire race shall wail for myriad things

And God shall rain down on the earth dire wrath

The dire wrath of the Moon; the stars travailed

Scorpio down on dire Leo backwards moved;

Struck by dire Ares by a hostile man,

Impulse of baleful Ares; serpent dire,

Shall be an insurrection. And dire war

And fastening evil war and battle dire
