The Destruction of Israel

1 I saw the Lord standing beside ^{▼▼Or on} the altar, and he said:

^f“Strike the capitals until ^gthe thresholds ^hshake,
ⁱand shatter them on the heads of all the people; ^{▼▼Hebrew all of them}
and those who are left of them I will kill with the sword;
^knot one of them shall flee away;
not one of them shall escape.
2 ^l“If they dig into Sheol,
from there shall my hand take them;
^mif they climb up to heaven,
from there I will bring them down.
3 If they hide themselves on ⁿthe top of Carmel,
from there I will search them out and take them;
^oand if they hide from my sight at the bottom of the sea,
there I will command the serpent, and it shall bite them.
