3. Therefore, this is what the Sovereign lord says:I will send many peopleto catch you in my netand haul you out of the water.
4. I will leave you stranded on the land to die.All the birds of the heavens will land on you,and the wild animals of the whole earthwill gorge themselves on you.
5. I will scatter your flesh on the hillsand fill the valleys with your bones.
6. I will drench the earth with your gushing bloodall the way to the mountains,filling the ravines to the brim.
7. When I blot you out,I will veil the heavens and darken the stars.I will cover the sun with a cloud,and the moon will not give you its light.
8. I will darken the bright stars overheadand cover your land in darkness.I, the Sovereign lord, have spoken!
9. “I will disturb many hearts when I bring news of your downfall to distant nations you have never seen.
