The Destruction of Israel
1 I saw the Lord standing by the altar, and He said:
“Strike the1 doorposts, that the thresholds may shake,
And abreak them on the heads of them all.
I will slay the last of them with the sword.
bHe who flees from them shall not get away,
And he who escapes from them shall not be delivered.
“Strike the1 doorposts, that the thresholds may shake,
And abreak them on the heads of them all.
I will slay the last of them with the sword.
bHe who flees from them shall not get away,
And he who escapes from them shall not be delivered.
2 “Thougha they dig into hell,
From there My hand shall take them;
bThough they climb up to heaven,
From there I will bring them down;
From there My hand shall take them;
bThough they climb up to heaven,
From there I will bring them down;
3 And though they ahide themselves on top of Carmel,
From there I will search and take them;
Though they hide from My sight at the bottom of the sea,
From there I will command the serpent, and it shall bite them;
From there I will search and take them;
Though they hide from My sight at the bottom of the sea,
From there I will command the serpent, and it shall bite them;
4 Though they go into captivity before their enemies,
From there aI will command the sword,
And it shall slay them.
bI will set My eyes on them for harm and not for good.”
From there aI will command the sword,
And it shall slay them.
bI will set My eyes on them for harm and not for good.”
5 The Lord God of hosts,
He who touches the earth and it amelts,
bAnd all who dwell there mourn;
All of it shall swell like1 the River,
And subside like the River of Egypt.
He who touches the earth and it amelts,
bAnd all who dwell there mourn;
All of it shall swell like1 the River,
And subside like the River of Egypt.
