To cut down their fugitives;
And do not imprison their survivors
In the day of their distress.

The Day of the Lord and the Future

15 “For the (B)day of the Lord draws near on all the nations.
(C)As you have done, it will be done to you.
Your (D)dealings will return on your own head.
16 “Because just as you (E)drank on (F)My holy mountain,
All the nations (G)will drink continually.
They will drink and [a]swallow
And become as if they had never existed.

    for all nations.
As you have done, it will be done to you;
