Chapter 9

The Vision of the Destroyed Sanctuary. I saw the Lord standing beside the altar, and he said:

Strike the tops of the pillars until the thresholds shake,
    and bring them down on the heads of all the people.
Should any survive,
    I will slay them with the sword.
Not one will be able to flee;
    not one will escape.
Even should they dig down to the netherworld,
    from there my hand will take them.
Even though they climb up to heaven,
    I will bring them down.
Should they hide themselves on the summit of Carmel,
    there I will track them down and take them.
Should they hide from my sight at the bottom of the sea,
    I will command the serpent there to bite them.
