I saw the Lord standing beside the ^(a)altar, and He said, "Smite the capitals so that the ^(b)thresholds will shake, And ^(c)break them on the heads of them all! Then I will ^(d)slay the rest of them with the sword; They will ^(e)not have a fugitive who will flee, Or a refugee who will escape.

"Though they dig into ^(f)Sheol, From there will My hand take them; And though they ^(g)ascend to heaven, From there will I bring them down.

"Though they hide on the summit of Carmel, I will ^(h)search them out and take them from there; And though they ⁽ⁱ⁾conceal themselves from My sight on the floor of the sea, From there I will command the ^(j)serpent and it will bite them.

"And though they go into ^(k)captivity before their enemies, From there I will command the sword that it slay them, And I will ^(l)set My eyes against them for evil and not for good."
