The Day of the Lord and the Future

15 “For the (A)day of the Lord draws near on all the nations.
(B)As you have done, it will be done to you.
Your (C)dealings will return on your own head.
16 “Because just as you (D)drank on (E)My holy mountain,
All the nations (F)will drink continually.
They will drink and [a]swallow

17 “But on Mount (G)Zion there will be those who escape,
And it will be holy.
And the house of Jacob will (H)possess their possessions.
