Sinful Israelites Will Die by the Sword
I saw the Lord standing beside the aaltar, and He said,
“Strike the capitals so that the bthresholds will quake,
And cbreak them on the heads of them all!
Then I will dkill the rest of them with the sword;
eNot one of them who can flee will flee,
And not one of them who can survive will escape.
2 Though they dig into aSheol,
From there will My hand take them;
And though they bascend to heaven,
From there will I bring them down.
3 And though they hide on the top of Carmel,
From there I will asearch them out and take them;
And though they bconceal themselves from My eyes on the floor of the sea,
From there I will command the cserpent, and it will bite them.
4 And though they go into acaptivity before their enemies,
From there I will command the sword that it kill them,
And I will bset My eyes against them for evil and not for good.”
