An end! The end has come
    upon the four corners of the land.(A)
Now the end is upon you;
    I will let loose my anger upon you;
I will judge you according to your ways;
    I will punish you for all your abominations.
My eye will not spare you; I will have no pity.
    I will punish you for your ways
    while your abominations are among you.

Then you shall know that I am the Lord.(B)

Disaster after disaster! See, it comes.(C)
    An end has come; the end has come.
It has awakened against you; see, it comes!
