"For the LORDwill passthroughto smitethe Egyptians;and when He seesthe bloodon the linteland on the twodoorposts,the LORDwill passoverthe doorand will not allowthe destroyerto comein to your housesto smite[you].
Gladnessand joyare takenawayfrom the fruitfulfield;In the vineyardsalso there will be nocriesof joyor jubilantshouting,Notreadertreadsout winein the presses,[For] I have made the shoutingto cease.
"So gladnessand joyare takenawayFrom the fruitfulfield,even from the landof Moab.And I have made the wineto ceasefrom the winepresses;Noone will tread[them] with shouting,The shoutingwill not be shouts[of joy].
Then you will knowthat I am the LORDyour God,Dwellingin Zion,My holymountain.So Jerusalemwill be holy,And strangerswill passthrough it nomore.
Thussaysthe LORD,"Thoughthey are at full[strength] and likewisemany,Even so,they will be cutoffand passaway.Though I have afflictedyou, I will afflictyou nolonger.
