²⁶ This is the purpose for all the earth: and this is the hand stretched out over all nations.

¹² When your right hand was stretched out, the mouth of the earth was open for them.

²⁵ For this reason the wrath of the Lord has been burning against his people, and his hand has been stretched out against them in punishment, and the hills were shaking, and their dead bodies were like waste in the open places of the town.

⁹ It was the purpose of the Lord of armies to put pride to shame, to make sport of the glory of those who are honoured in the earth.

⁶ I have had the nations cut off, their towers are broken down; I have made their streets a waste so that no one goes through them: destruction has overtaken their towns, so that there is no man living in them.

⁷ I said, Certainly you will go in fear of me, and come under my training, so that whatever I may send on her may not be cut off before her eyes: but they got up early and made all their works evil.

⁸ For this reason, go on waiting for me, says the Lord, till the day when I come up as a witness: for my purpose is to send for the nations and to get the kingdoms together, so that I may let loose on them my passion, even all my burning wrath: for all the earth will be burned up in the fire of my bitter passion.
