Terror and traps and snares will be your lot, you people of the earth.Those who flee in terror will fall into a trap, and those who escape the trap will be caught in a snare.

It trembles like a tent in a storm. It falls and will not rise again, for the guilt of its rebellion is very heavy.

They provoke him to his face.

Then I saw a vision of the Lord standing beside the altar. He said,“ Strike the tops of the Temple columns, so that the foundation will shake. Bring down the roof on the heads of the people below. I will kill with the sword those who survive. No one will escape!“ Even if they dig down to the place of the dead, I will reach down and pull them up. Even if they climb up into the heavens, I will bring them down.Even if they hide at the very top of Mount Carmel, I will search them out and capture them. Even if they hide at the bottom of the ocean, I will send the sea serpent after them to bite them.Even if their enemies drive them into exile, I will command the sword to kill them there. I am determined to bring disaster upon them and not to help them.”
