For yet a very little while and My indignation [against you] will be fulfilled and My anger will be directed toward the destruction of the Assyrian.”

Come, my people, enter your chambers
And shut your doors behind you;
Hide for a little while
Until the [Lord’s] wrath is past.

Is it not yet a very little while
Until Lebanon will be turned into a fertile field,
And the fertile field regarded as a forest?

Seek the Lord while He may be found;
Call on Him [for salvation] while He is near.

Your holy people possessed Your sanctuary for [only] a little while;
Our adversaries have trampled it down.

“It shall also come to pass that before they call, I will answer; and while they are still speaking, I will hear.
