“This is what the Lord [a]God says: ‘A (A)disaster, a unique disaster, behold, it is coming! An end [b]is coming; the end has come! It has (B)awakened against you; behold, it has come! Your [c]doom has come to you, you inhabitant of the land. The (C)time has come, the (D)day is near—panic rather than joyful shouting on the mountains.

My eye will have no pity nor will I spare you. I will [e]repay you according to your ways, while your abominations are in your midst; then you will know that I, the Lord, am striking.

10 ‘Behold, the day! Behold, it is coming! Your [f]doom has gone forth; the (G)rod has budded, arrogance has blossomed.

I will repay you for your conduct
    and for the detestable practices among you.(H)
