“‘This is what the Lord God says:

I will spread my net over you,
    and I will use a ·large group of [assembly of many] people
to ·pull [haul] you up in my net.

Then I will ·throw [cast; or abandon] you on the land
    ·dropping [hurling] you onto the ·ground [open field].
I will let the birds of the ·sky [heavens] ·rest [settle] on you
    and all the animals of the earth ·eat you until they are full [gorge themselves on you; Rev. 19:21].
