¹⁶ By fire and sword he will punish all the people of the world whom he finds guilty—and many will be put to death.

¹⁷ The Lord says, “The end is near for those who purify themselves for pagan worship, who go in procession to sacred gardens,^[a] and who eat pork and mice and other disgusting foods. ¹⁸ I know^[b] their thoughts and their deeds. I am coming^[c] to gather the people of all the nations. When they come together, they will see what my power can do
