Its disobedience will be heavy on it, and it will fall and not rise again.

I saw the Lord standing beside the altar, and he said,“ Strike the tops of the pillars, that the thresholds may shake; and break them in pieces on the head of all of them; and I will kill the last of them with the sword: there shall not one of them flee away, and there shall not one of them escape.Though they dig into Sheol, there my hand will take them; and though they climb up to heaven, there I will bring them down.Though they hide themselves in the top of Carmel, I will search and take them out there; and though they be hidden from my sight in the bottom of the sea, there I will command the serpent, and it will bite them.Though they go into captivity before their enemies, there I will command the sword, and it will kill them. I will set my eyes on them for evil, and not for good.
