Come, my people, into your secret places, and let your doors be shut: keep yourself safe for a short time, till his wrath is over.
For the Lord is coming out of his place to send punishment on the people of the earth for their evil-doing: the earth will let the blood drained out on her be seen, and will keep her dead covered no longer.
