"Behold," says God, "I call together all the kings of the earth to fear me, from the rising sun and from the south, from the east and from Lebanon; to turn and repay what they have given them.
21
Just as they have done to my elect until this day, so I will do, and will repay into their bosom." Thus says the Lord God:
22
"My right hand will not spare the sinners, and my sword will not cease from those who shed innocent blood on earth."
23
And a fire will go forth from his wrath, and will consume the foundations of the earth, and the sinners, like straw that is kindled.
24
"Woe to those who sin and do not observe my commandments," says the Lord;
25
"I will not spare them. Depart, you faithless children! Do not pollute my sanctuary."
26
For the Lord knows all who transgress against him; therefore he will hand them over to death and slaughter.
27
For now calamities have come upon the whole earth, and you shall remain in them; for God will not deliver you, because you have sinned against him.
28
Behold, a terrifying sight, appearing from the east!
29
The nations of the dragons of Arabia shall come out with many chariots, and from the day that they set out, their hissing shall spread over the earth, so that all who hear them fear and tremble.
30
Also the Carmonians, raging in wrath, shall go forth like wild boars of the forest, and with great power they shall come, and engage them in battle, and shall devastate a portion of the land of the Assyrians with their teeth.
