“Strike the [a]doorposts, that the thresholds may shake,
And (A)break them on the heads of them all.

From there My hand shall take them;
(D)Though they climb up to heaven,
From there I will bring them down;

From there I will search and take them;
Though they hide from My sight at the bottom of the sea,
From there I will command the serpent, and it shall bite them;
