No Escaping His Eyes

I saw my Lord standing by the altar, and He said:

“Strike the tops of the pillars,
    so the porches shake!
Break all of them off at the head!
Then the last of them I will slay with the sword—
    none of them fleeing will escape
    and no fugitive will slip away.
If they should dig down to Sheol,
from there My hand will take them.
If they should go up to heaven,
from there will I bring them down.
If they should hide themselves at the top of Carmel,
I will search them out and take them from there.
If they hide themselves from My eyes at the bottom of the sea,
from there I will command the sea serpent to bite them.

Israel to Be Destroyed

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

“Strike the tops of the pillars
    so that the thresholds shake.
Bring them down on the heads(A) of all the people;
    those who are left I will kill with the sword.
Not one will get away,
    none will escape.(B)
Though they dig down to the depths below,(C)
    from there my hand will take them.
Though they climb up to the heavens above,(D)
    from there I will bring them down.(E)
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)
