"And I will executevengeancein angerand wrathOn the nationswhichhave not obeyed."
To executevengeanceon the nationsAnd punishmenton the peoples,
Thereforethe LordGODof hosts,The MightyOneof Israel,declares,"Ah,I will be relievedof My adversariesAnd avengeMyself on My foes.
I will destineyou for the sword,And allof you will bowdownto the slaughter.BecauseI called,but you did not answer;I spoke,but you did not hear.And you didevilin My sightAnd chosethat in whichI did not delight."
The remnantof JacobWill be among the nations,AmongmanypeoplesLike a lionamong the beastsof the forest,Like a younglionamong flocksof sheep,Which,ifhe passesthrough,Tramplesdownand tears,And thereis noneto rescue.
Hearnowwhatthe LORDis saying,"Arise,pleadyour casebeforethe mountains,And let the hillshearyour voice.
dealingout retributionto thosewho do not knowGodand to thosewho do not obeythe gospelof our LordJesus.
