“Strike the tops of the pillars
    so that the thresholds shake.
Bring them down on the heads(A) of all the people;

    from there my hand will take them.
Though they climb up to the heavens above,(D)

Though they hide themselves on the top of Carmel,(F)
    there I will hunt them down and seize them.(G)
Though they hide from my eyes at the bottom of the sea,(H)
    there I will command the serpent(I) to bite them.(J)
