And close your doors behind you;

Hide for a little [fn]while

Until indignation [fn]runs its course.

For behold, the LORD is about to come out from His place

To punish the inhabitants of the earth for their wrongdoing;

And the earth will reveal her bloodshed

And will no longer cover her slain.
