15. The Lord will come with fire. He will ride on the wings of a storm to punish those he is angry with.

17. The Lord says, “The end is near for those who purify themselves for pagan worship, who go in procession to sacred gardens, and who eat pork and mice and other disgusting foods.
18. I know their thoughts and their deeds. I am coming to gather the people of all the nations. When they come together, they will see what my power can do
19. and will know that I am the one who punishes them.“But I will spare some of them and send them to the nations and the distant lands that have not heard of my fame or seen my greatness and power: to Spain, Libya, and Lydia, with its skilled archers, and to Tubal and Greece. Among these nations they will proclaim my greatness.
20. They will bring back all your fellow-Israelites from the nations as a gift to me. They will bring them to my sacred hill in Jerusalem on horses, mules, and camels, and in chariots and wagons, just as Israelites bring grain offerings to the Temple in ritually clean containers.
21. I will make some of them priests and Levites.
22. “Just as the new earth and the new heavens will endure by my power, so your descendants and your name will endure.
