18:7 At that time
tribute will be brought to the Lord who commands armies,
by a people that are tall and smooth-skinned,
a people that are feared far and wide,
a nation strong and victorious,
whose land rivers divide. 1
The tribute 2 will be brought to the place where the Lord who commands armies has chosen to reside, on Mount Zion. 3
22:25 “At that time,” 4 says the Lord who commands armies, “the peg fastened into a solid place will come loose. It will be cut off and fall, and the load hanging on it will be cut off.” 5 Indeed, 6 the Lord has spoken.
26:21 For look, the Lord is coming out of the place where he lives, 7
to punish the sin of those who live on the earth.
The earth will display the blood shed on it;
it will no longer cover up its slain. 8
33:21 Instead the Lord will rule there as our mighty king. 9
Rivers and wide streams will flow through it; 10
no war galley will enter; 11
no large ships will sail through. 12
