Look! The LORD is coming from his dwelling place; he comes down and treads on the heights of the earth.

I will bring a conqueror against you who live in Mareshah. The nobles of Israel will flee to Adullam.

For behold, the LORD is coming out of his place, and will come down and tread upon the high places of the earth.

I will again bring a conqueror to you, inhabitants of Mareshah; the glory of Israel shall come to Adullam.

Look! The LORD is coming! He leaves his throne in heaven and tramples the heights of the earth.

O people of Mareshah, I will bring a conqueror to capture your town. And the leaders of Israel will go to Adullam.

Look, the LORD is leaving his place  and coming down to trample the heights  of the earth.

I will again bring a conqueror against you who live in Mareshah.  The nobility  of Israel will come to Adullam.

For, behold, the LORD cometh forth out of his place, and will come down, and tread upon the high places of the earth.

Yet will I bring an heir unto thee, O inhabitant of Mareshah: he shall come unto Adullam the glory of Israel.

For behold, the LORD is coming out of His place; He will come down And tread on the high places of the earth.

I will yet bring an heir to you, O inhabitant of Mareshah; The glory of Israel shall come to Adullam.

Look, here he comes! GOD, from his place! He comes down and strides across mountains and hills. Mountains sink under his feet, valleys split apart; The rock mountains crumble into gravel, the river valleys leak like sieves. All this because of Jacob’s sin, because Israel’s family did wrong. You ask, “So what is Jacob’s sin?” Just look at Samaria—isn’t it obvious? And all the sex-and-religion shrines in Judah— isn’t Jerusalem responsible? * * *

Don’t gossip about this in Telltown. Don’t waste your tears. In Dustville, roll in the dust. In Alarmtown, the alarm is sounded. The citizens of Exitburgh will never get out alive. Lament, Last-Stand City: There’s nothing in you left standing. The villagers of Bittertown wait in vain for sweet peace. Harsh judgment has come from GOD and entered Peace City. All you who live in Chariotville, get in your chariots for flight. You led the daughter of Zion into trusting not God but chariots. Similar sins in Israel also got their start in you. Go ahead and give your good-bye gifts to Good-byeville. Miragetown beckoned but disappointed Israel’s kings. Inheritance City has lost its inheritance. Glorytown has seen its last of glory. Shave your heads in mourning over the loss of your precious towns. Go bald as a goose egg—they’ve gone into exile and aren’t coming back.

For behold, the LORD is coming forth from His place. He will come down and tread on the high places of the earth.

Moreover, I will bring on you The one who takes possession, You inhabitant of Mareshah. The glory of Israel will enter Adullam.

For behold, the LORD is coming down from His place He shall come down and tread [in judgment] on the high places of the earth. [Zech 14:3, 4; Mal 4:2, 3; Matt 24:27-30; Rev 1:7; 19:11-16]

Moreover, I will bring on you The one who takes possession, O inhabitant of Mareshah (Prominent Place). The glory (nobility) of Israel will enter Adullam [seeking refuge]. [1 Sam 22:1]

Look, the LORD is coming out of his dwelling place! He will descend and march on the earth’s mountaintops!

Residents of Mareshah, a conqueror will attack you, the leaders of Israel shall flee to Adullam.
