CHAPTER 15:
1 This prophecy is certain. 5
Elohim will take vengeance upon
the wicked, 12 Upon Egypt, 28 An
horrible vision. 43 Babylon and
Asia are threatened.
Vengeance on the Wicked
1 Behold, speak in the ears
of my people the words of
prophesy, which I will put in
your mouth, says Yahuah.
2 And cause them to be
written in paper: for they are
faithful and true.
3 Fear not the imaginations
against you, let not the
incredulity of them trouble
you, that speak against you.
4 For all the unfaithful shall
die in their unfaithfulness.
5 Behold, says Yahuah, I will
bring plagues upon the world;
the sword, famine, death, and
destruction.
6 For wickedness has
exceedingly polluted the
whole earth, and their hurtful
works are fulfilled.
7 Therefore says Yahuah,
8 I will hold my tongue
no more as touching their
wickedness,
which
they
profanely commit, neither
will I suffer them in those
things, in which they wickedly
exercise themselves: behold,
the innocent and righteous
Cf. Gn. 4:10. blood cries unto me, and the

souls of the just complain
continually.
9 And therefore says Yahuah,
I will surely avenge them,
and receive unto me, all the
innocent blood from among
them.
10 Behold, my people are led
as a flock to the slaughter: I
will not suffer them now to
dwell in the land of Egypt.
11 But I will bring them
with a mighty hand, and a
stretched out arm, and smite
Egypt with plagues as before,
and will destroy all the land
thereof.
12 Egypt shall mourn, and
the foundation of it shall be
smitten with the plague and
punishment, that Elohim shall
bring upon it.
13 They that till the ground
shall mourn: for their seeds
shall fail, through the blasting,
and hail, and with a fearful
constellation.
14 Woe to the world, and
them that dwell therein.
15 For the sword and their
destruction draws near, and
one people shall stand up to
fight against another, and
swords in their hands.
16 For there shall be sedition
among men, and invading one
another, they shall not regard
their kings, nor princes, and
the course of their actions
