The Fifth Vision: The Lord Topples the Temple

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

    Strike the capitals on top of the pillars so that the thresholds shake.
    Cut them off so that they fall on the heads of all the people,
    and those who survive I will kill with the sword.
    No one who flees from there will get away,
    and not a single fugitive from among them will escape.
Even if they dig down to hell,[a]
    from there my hand will seize them.
    And even if they ascend to heaven,
    from there I will bring them down.
Even if they hide themselves on the top of Mount Carmel,
    from there I will search for them, and I will seize them.
    Even if they hide themselves from my sight at the bottom of the sea,
    from there I will command the serpent, and it will bite them.
