Behold,the tempestof the LORD!Wrathhas goneforth,A sweepingtempest;It will burston the headof the wicked.
Beforeyour potscan feel[the fire of] thornsHe will sweepthem awaywith a whirlwind,the greenand the burningalike.
When your dreadcomeslike a stormAnd your calamitycomeslike a whirlwind,When distressand anguishcomeupon you.
Thussaysthe LORDof hosts,"Behold,evilis goingforthFrom nationto nation,And a greatstormis being stirredup From the remotestpartsof the earth.
In that timeit will be saidto thispeopleand to Jerusalem,"A scorchingwindfrom the bareheightsin the wildernessin the directionof the daughterof My people--not to winnowand not to cleanse,
"Is it nothingto allyou who passthis way?Lookand seeifthereis anypainlike my painWhichwas severelydealtout to me, Whichthe LORDinflictedon the dayof His fierceanger.
Then the LORDwill appearoverthem, And His arrowwill goforthlike lightning;And the LordGODwill blowthe trumpet,And will marchin the stormwindsof the south.
