Context Readings

The Day Of The Lord Is Near

14 Do not stand at the crossroads
to cut off their fugitives,
and do not hand over their survivors
in the day of distress.
15 For the Day of the Lord is near,
against all the nations.
As you have done, so it will be done to you;
what you deserve will return on your own head.
16 As you have drunk on My holy mountain,
so all the nations will drink continually.
They will drink and gulp down
and be as though they had never been.
