14. Do not stand at the crossroadsto cut down his survivors;Do not hand over his fugitiveson the day of distress!
15. Near is the day of the Lordagainst all the nations!As you have done, so will it be done to you,your conduct will come back upon your own head;
16. As you drank upon my holy mountain,so will all the nations drink continually.Yes, they will drink and swallow,and will become as though they had not been.
17. But on Mount Zion there will be some who escape;the mountain will be holy,And the house of Jacob will take possessionof those who dispossessed them.
