Judgment

And this shall happen: when the Lord has finished all his work against {Mount Zion} and Jerusalem, "I will punish the {arrogance} of the king of Assyria and {his haughtiness}."

For look, on the city that is called {by} my name I [am] beginning to inflict harm, and you indeed, will you go unpunished? You will not go unpunished, for I [am] summoning a sword against all the inhabitants of the earth," {declares} Yahweh of hosts.'

For thus says Yahweh, "Look, those {who are not condemned} to drink the cup must certainly drink [it]. And [are] you the one who will go entirely unpunished? You will not go unpunished, for you must certainly drink [it].

You must kill {totally} old man, young man and young woman, and little children and women, but {concerning} every man {with the mark on him} you must not approach; and from my sanctuary you must begin." And they began with the old men who {were before} the house.

"Then I will approach you for judgment, and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers and against the adulterers, and against those who swear {falsely}, and against the oppressors of [the] hired worker [with his] wages, [the] widow and [the] orphan, and {the abusers of} [the] alien, and [yet] do not fear me," says Yahweh of hosts.

And do not think to say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham [as] father.' For I say to you that God is able to raise up children for Abraham from these stones!

And that slave who knew the will of his master and did not prepare or do according to his will {will be given a severe beating}.

And if

For if they do these [things] {when the wood is green}, what will happen {when it is dry}?"

What

Then he began to reproach the towns in which the majority of his miracles had been done, because they did not repent:

I tell you that it will be more bearable on that day for Sodom than for that town!

For if the word spoken through angels was binding and every transgression and act of disobedience received a just penalty,

and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and {to the sprinkled blood} that speaks better than Abel's [does].

General references

If the righteous on earth will be repaid, {how much more} the wicked and sinner.

But all these [things] [are] the beginning of birth pains.

For if they do these [things] {when the wood is green}, what will happen {when it is dry}?"
