The days of punishment have come; the days of recompense have come. Israel will cry out, “The prophet is a fool; the man of the spirit is mad!” Because of your great iniquity, your hostility is great.
Flee from the midst of Babylon; save your lives, each of you! Do not perish because of her guilt, for this is the time of the Lord’s vengeance; he is repaying her what is due.
See, the day is coming, burning like an oven, when all the arrogant and all evildoers will be stubble; the day that comes shall burn them up, says the Lord of hosts, so that it will leave them neither root nor branch.
Praise, O heavens, his people; worship him, all you gods! For he will avenge the blood of his children and take vengeance on his adversaries; he will repay those who hate him and cleanse the land for his people.”
