An object of horror among the nations!

And the staff in whose hands is My indignation,

They are coming from a far country,
From the

farthest horizons,

The Lord and His instruments of indignation,
To destroy the whole land.

The scepter of rulers

Long ago I did it,
From ancient times I planned it.
Now I have brought it to pass,
That you should turn fortified cities into ruinous heaps.

“Behold, I have made you a new, sharp threshing sledge with double edges;

You will thresh the mountains and pulverize them,

And will make the hills like chaff.

“Arise and thresh, daughter of Zion,
For your horn I will make iron
And your hoofs I will make bronze,
That you may pulverize many peoples,
That you may devote to the Lord their unjust gain
And their wealth to the Lord of all the earth.

For I will bend Judah as My bow,
I will fill the bow with Ephraim.
And I will stir up your sons, O Zion, against your sons, O Greece;
And I will make you like a warrior’s sword.

But the king was enraged, and he sent his armies and destroyed those murderers and set their city on fire.
