2 I will still make you suffer,and your people will crywhen I make an altar of you.
3 I will surround you and prepareto attack from all sides.
4 From deep in the earth,you will call out for helpwith only a faint whisper.
5 Then your cruel enemieswill suddenly be swept awaylike dust in a windstorm.
6 I, the Lord All-Powerful,will come to your rescuewith a thundering earthquakeand a fiery whirlwind.
7 Every brutal nationthat attacks Jerusalemand makes it sufferwill disappear like a dreamwhen night is over.
8 Those nations that attackMount Zionwill suffer from hungerand thirst.They will dream of food and drinkbut wake up weary and hungryand thirsty as ever.
