The Lord Will Sift Israel out of All the Nations

I saw Adonay standing by the altar, and he said:

Strike the tops of the pillars so that the foundations shake.
    Cut off everyone’s head.
        I will kill with a sword all who are left.
    None of them will be able to get away.
    None of them will be able to escape.

Even if they dig their way into Sheol,
    my hand will take them from there.
    Even if they go up to heaven,
    I will bring them down from there.
Even if they hide on top of Mount Carmel,
    I will look for them and take them from there.
    Even if they hide from me at the bottom of the sea,
    I will command a sea snake to bite them.

Israel to Be Destroyed

I saw the Lord standing by the altar, and he said:

“Strike the tops of the pillars
    so that the thresholds shake.
Bring them down on the heads(A) of all the people;
    those who are left I will kill with the sword.
Not one will get away,
    none will escape.(B)
Though they dig down to the depths below,(C)
    from there my hand will take them.
Though they climb up to the heavens above,(D)
    from there I will bring them down.(E)
Though they hide themselves on the top of Carmel,(F)
    there I will hunt them down and seize them.(G)
Though they hide from my eyes at the bottom of the sea,(H)
    there I will command the serpent(I) to bite them.(J)
