22 There is ano gloom or deep darkness
where evildoers may hide themselves.
17 For my seyes are on all their ways. They are not hidden from me, nor is their iniquity concealed from my eyes.
24 Can a man hide himself in secret places so that I cannot see him? declares the Lord. Do I not fill heaven and earth? declares the Lord.
The Destruction of Israel
1 I saw the Lord standing beside1 the altar, and he said:
“Strike the capitals until the thresholds shake,
and shatter them on the heads of all the people;2
and those who are left of them I will kill with the sword;
not one of them shall flee away;
not one of them shall escape.
2 h“If they dig into Sheol,
from there shall my hand take them;
iif they climb up to heaven,
from there I will bring them down.
3 If they hide themselves on the top of Carmel,
from there I will search them out and take them;
and if they hide from my sight at the bottom of the sea,
there I will command the serpent, and it shall bite them.
4 And if they go into captivity before their enemies,
there I will command the sword, and it shall kill them;
and I will fix my eyes upon them
jfor evil and not for good.”
13 And ino creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must jgive account.
