For a completedestruction,one that is decreed,the LordGODof hostswill executein the midstof the wholeland.
He makes warsto ceaseto the endof the earth;He breaksthe bowand cutsthe spearin two;He burnsthe chariotswith fire.
And nowdo not carryon as scoffers,Oryour fetterswill be madestronger;For I have heardfrom the LordGODof hostsOf decisivedestructionon allthe earth.
"Then the kingwill doas he pleases,and he will exaltand magnifyhimself aboveeverygodand will speakmonstrousthingsagainstthe Godof gods;and he will prosperuntilthe indignationis finished,for that which is decreedwill be done.
"Allthe inhabitantsof the earthare accountedas nothing,But He doesaccordingto His willin the hostof heavenAnd [among] the inhabitantsof earth;And noone can wardoffHis handOr sayto Him, 'Whathave You done?'
"And he will makea firmcovenantwith the manyfor oneweek,but in the middleof the weekhe will puta stopto sacrificeand grain offering;and on the wingof abominations[will come] one who makesdesolate,even untila completedestruction,one that is decreed,is pouredout on the one who makesdesolate."
FOR THE LORDWILL EXECUTEHIS WORDON THE EARTH,THOROUGHLYAND QUICKLY."
