Didn't you hear it already, o daughter of Sion ?
- What is written, is written, what is decided, is
decided.
- But you, by means of your unworthy ministers, have
reduced to ruins
- the fortresses and frightened and confused its
inhabitants.
- Here, I will put pride against pride, and it shall be
man against man,
- woman against woman, brother against brother, sister
against sister,
- mother against daughter, daughter against mother,
father against son,
- son against father, wife against husband, husband
against wife,
- family against family, nation against nation, city
against city,
- country against country, power against power.
- Race against race, class against class, west against
east, east against west, north against south, south against north.
- In the desert and in the steppe lies its greatness.
- The intelligence of the proud will fade away and I
will trample upon their projects,so that they will return and seek for
magicians, astrologers and fortune-tellers and I
will put them in the hands of the cruel dominator of darkness.
-
- Oracle of the Lord of Hosts.
-
- The city will be emptied, the woman will not give
birth;
- the genitals will become purulent.
- The strong and the weak will pine away and become
pale.
- The news will diminish and will be scattered to the
wind.
- The press will wither and disappear.
- Fishers of news will complain and mourn and
- fishers of men will complain and remain desolate.
- Manufacturers, business-men and stylists will be
confused and will turn pale.
- The economy will collapse and the workmen will be
dismayed.
- How intelligent are the leaders of science !
- The most clever of the president's advisers form a
stupid council.
- How can they say: "I come from famous schools
and teachers ?!"
- Let them reveal to you what the Lord of Hosts has
decided against pride.
- The wise men have become stupid and deceive the famous
teachers,
as to lead astray all their leaders.
- The Lord has sent a spirit of misleading on all the
leaders that makes them move in every way
like drunkards in their own vomit.
- They will do no good :
- neither those who are at the head nor those at the
tail,
- neither those in high places nor those in the lowest
ones,
- neither he who is leader nor he who obeys,
- neither he who guides nor he who follows;
- neither the king nor his subjects;
- neither the Pope, nor his faithful.
- The Word of the Lord .
