shall come to an end!” declares Yahweh.

To render his anger with fury,

And his rebuke with flames of fire.

And the slain of the Lord shall be many.

They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens

Behind one tree in the midst,

Eating swine’s flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse,

Shall be consumed together, saith the Lord.
