I saw the Lord standing upon the altar: and he said, Smite the lintel of the door, that the posts may shake: and cut them in the head, all of them; and I will ^aslay the last of them with the sword: he that ^bfleeth of them shall not flee away, and he that escapeth of them shall not be delivered.

 2 Though they dig into ^ahell, thence shall mine hand take them; though they climb up to heaven, thence will I bring them down:

 3 And though they ^ahide themselves in the top of Carmel, I will search and take them out thence; and though they be hid from my sight in the bottom of the sea, thence will I command the serpent, and he shall bite them:

 4 And though they go into captivity before their enemies, thence will I command the sword, and it shall slay them: and I will set mine eyes upon them for ^aevil, and not for good.

 5 And the Lord God of hosts is he that toucheth the land, and it shall ^amelt, and all that dwell therein shall ^bmourn: and it shall rise up wholly like a flood; and shall be drowned, as by the flood of Egypt.
