1. I saw the Lord standing by the altar. He gave the command: “Strike the tops of the temple columns so hard that the whole porch will shake. Break them off and let them fall on the heads of the people. I will kill the rest of the people in war. No one will get away; not one will escape.
2. Even if they dig their way down to the world of the dead, I will catch them. Even if they climb up to heaven, I will bring them down.
3. If they hide on the top of Mount Carmel, I will search for them and catch them. If they hide from me at the bottom of the sea, I will command the sea monster to bite them.
4. If they are taken away into captivity by their enemies, I will order them to be put to death. I am determined to destroy them, not to help them.”
