Just as the whirlwinds approach from Africa, it approaches from the desert, from a terrible land. 2 A difficult vision has been announced to me: he who is unbelieving, he acts unfaithfully, and he who is a plunderer, he devastates.

1 In that day, the Lord will visit, with his harsh and great and strong sword, against Leviathan, the barred serpent, and against Leviathan, the twisted serpent, and he will slay the whale that is in the sea. 2 In that day, the vineyard of pure wine will sing to them. 3 I am the […]
