Isaiah 5:25-30
English Standard Version
25 Therefore (A)the anger of the Lord was kindled against his people,
and he stretched out his hand against them and struck them,
and (B)the mountains quaked;
and their corpses were (C)as refuse
in the midst of the streets.
(D)For all this his anger has not turned away,
and his hand is stretched out still.
26 He will (E)raise a signal for nations far away,
and (F)whistle for them (G)from the ends of the earth;
and behold, quickly, speedily they come!
27 (H)None is weary, none stumbles,
none slumbers or sleeps,
not a waistband is loose,
not a sandal strap broken;
28 (I)their arrows are sharp,
all their bows bent,
their horses' hoofs seem like flint,
and their wheels (J)like the whirlwind.
29 Their roaring is like a lion,
like young lions they roar;
they growl and (K)seize their prey;
they carry it off, and none can rescue.
30 They will growl over it on that day,
like the growling of the sea.
And if one looks to the land,
behold, (L)darkness and distress;
and the light is darkened by its clouds.

Ezekiel 24:3-13
English Standard Version
3 And (A)utter a parable to (B)the rebellious house and say to them, Thus says the Lord God:
“Set on (C)the pot, set it on;
pour in water also;
4 put in it the pieces of meat,
all the good pieces, (D)the thigh and the shoulder;
fill it with choice bones.
5 Take the choicest one of the flock;
pile the logs[a] under it;
boil it well;
seethe also its bones in it.
6 “Therefore thus says the Lord God: (E)Woe to the bloody city, to (F)the pot whose corrosion is in it, and whose corrosion has not gone out of it! Take out of it piece after piece, without making any choice.[b] 7 For the blood she has shed is in her midst; she put it on (G)the bare rock; (H)she did not pour it out on the ground to cover it with dust. 8 To rouse my wrath, to take vengeance, I have set on the bare rock the blood she has shed, that it may not be covered. 9 Therefore thus says the Lord God: Woe to the bloody city! (I)I also will make the pile great. 10 Heap on the logs, kindle the fire, boil the meat well, mix in the spices,[c] and let the bones be burned up. 11 Then set it empty upon the coals, that it may become hot, and its copper may burn, (J)that its uncleanness may be melted in it, its corrosion consumed. 12 (K)She has wearied herself with toil;[d] its abundant corrosion does not go out of it. Into the fire with its corrosion! 13 On account of your unclean lewdness, because I would have cleansed you and you were not cleansed from your uncleanness, (L)you shall not be cleansed anymore till (M)I have satisfied my fury upon you.

English Standard Version
Judgment on the Whole Earth
24 Behold, (A)the Lord will empty the earth[a] and make it desolate,
and he will twist its surface and scatter its inhabitants.
2 (B)And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest;
as with the slave, so with his master;
as with the maid, so with her mistress;
(C)as with the buyer, so with the seller;
as with the lender, so with the borrower;
(D)as with the creditor, so with the debtor.
3 (E)The earth shall be utterly empty and utterly plundered;
(F)for the Lord has spoken this word.
4 (G)The earth mourns and withers;
the world languishes and withers;
the highest people of the earth languish.
5 The earth lies (H)defiled
under its inhabitants;
for (I)they have transgressed the laws,
violated the statutes,
broken the everlasting covenant.
6 Therefore (J)a curse devours the earth,
and its inhabitants (K)suffer for their guilt;
therefore the inhabitants of the earth are scorched,
and few men are left.
7 (L)The wine mourns,
the vine languishes,
all the merry-hearted sigh.
8 (M)The mirth of the tambourines is stilled,
the noise of the jubilant has ceased,
the mirth of the lyre is stilled.
9 No more do they drink wine (N)with singing;
strong drink is bitter to those who drink it.
10 (O)The wasted city is broken down;
(P)every house is shut up so that none can enter.
11 (Q)There is an outcry in the streets for lack of wine;
(R)all joy has grown dark;
the gladness of the earth is banished.
12 Desolation is left in the city;
the gates are battered into ruins.

to take (C)spoil and seize plunder,
