5 The Lord says, “I am going to bring terrible disasters on the whole world — war and famine, death and destruction —
6 because wickedness has spread everywhere, and evil has reached its limit.”
7 “Therefore,” the Lord says,
8 “I will no longer remain silent about the wickedness of these godless people; I will no longer tolerate it. They have murdered innocent people, and the blood they have spilt cries out to me for revenge; the souls of the righteous are constantly pleading for vengeance.
9 Let there be no doubt,” says the Lord, “I will hear the plea of all the innocent people who have been murdered and I will take vengeance for what has been done to them.
10 “My people are being led to the slaughter like a flock of sheep. They will no longer have to live in Egypt;
11 I will use all my strength and power to bring them out of that land. I will bring disasters on the Egyptians, as I did earlier, and I will destroy their country.
