Nor will I have pity;
But I will repay your ways,
And your abominations will be in your midst;
bThen you shall know that I am the Lord!’
bThe time has come,
A day of trouble is near,
And not of rejoicing in the mountains.
And spend My anger upon you;
I will judge you according to your ways,
And I will repay you for all your abominations.
Nor will I have pity;
I will1 repay you according to your ways,
And your abominations will be in your midst.
Then you shall know that I am the Lord who strikes.
None of1 them shall remain,
None of their multitude,
None of them;
bNor shall there be wailing for them.
