Hearken, O ye people of my church, saith the Lord your God, and hear the word of the Lord concerning you—

 2 The Lord who shall suddenly ^acome to his temple; the Lord who shall come down upon the world with a curse to ^bjudgment; yea, upon all the nations that ^cforget God, and upon all the ungodly among you.

 3 For he shall make ^abare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations, and all the ends of the earth shall see the ^bsalvation of their God.

 4 Wherefore, prepare ye, prepare ye, O my people; sanctify yourselves; gather ye together, O ye people of my church, upon the land of Zion, all you that have not been commanded to ^atarry.

 5 Go ye out from ^aBabylon. Be ye ^bclean that bear the vessels of the Lord.

 6 Call your ^asolemn assemblies, and ^bspeak often one to another. And let every man call upon the name of the Lord.

 7 Yea, verily I say unto you again, the time has come when the voice of the Lord is unto you: Go ye out of Babylon; ^agather ye out from among the nations, from the ^bfour winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

 8 Send forth the elders of my church unto the ^anations which are afar off; unto the ^bislands of the sea; send forth unto foreign lands; call upon all nations, first upon the ^cGentiles, and then upon the Jews.

 9 And behold, and lo, this shall be their cry, and the voice of the Lord unto all people: Go ye forth unto the land of Zion, that the borders of my people may be enlarged, and that her ^astakes may be strengthened, and that ^bZion may go forth unto the regions round about.

 10 Yea, let the cry go forth among all people: Awake and arise and go forth to meet the ^aBridegroom; behold and lo, the Bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. Prepare yourselves for the ^bgreat day of the Lord.

 11 ^aWatch, therefore, for ye ^bknow neither the day nor the hour.

 12 Let them, therefore, who are ^aamong the Gentiles flee unto ^bZion.

 13 And let them who be of ^aJudah flee unto ^bJerusalem, unto the ^cmountains of the Lord's ^dhouse.

 14 Go ye ^aout from among the nations, even from ^bBabylon, from the midst of ^cwickedness, which is spiritual Babylon.

 15 But verily, thus saith the Lord, let not your flight be in ^ahaste, but let all things be prepared before you; and he that goeth, let him ^bnot look back lest sudden destruction shall come upon him.

 16 Hearken and hear, O ye inhabitants of the earth. ^aListen, ye elders of my church together, and hear the voice of the Lord; for he calleth upon all men, and he commandeth all men everywhere to ^brepent.

 17 For behold, the Lord God hath ^asent forth the angel crying through the midst of heaven, saying: Prepare ye the way of the Lord, and make his paths straight, for the hour of his ^bcoming is nigh—

 18 When the ^aLamb shall stand upon ^bMount Zion, and with him a ^chundred and forty-four thousand, having his Father's name written on their foreheads.

 19 Wherefore, prepare ye for the ^acoming of the Bridegroom; go ye, go ye out to meet him.

 20 For behold, he shall ^astand upon the mount of Olivet, and upon the mighty ocean, even the great deep, and upon the islands of the sea, and upon the land of Zion.

 21 And he shall ^autter his voice out of ^bZion, and he shall speak from Jerusalem, and his ^cvoice shall be heard among all people;

 22 And it shall be a voice as the ^avoice of many waters, and as the voice of a great ^bthunder, which shall ^cbreak down the mountains, and the valleys shall not be found.

 23 He shall command the great deep, and it shall be driven back into the north countries, and the ^aislands shall become one land;

 24 And the ^aland of Jerusalem and the land of ^bZion shall be turned back into their own place, and the ^cearth shall be like as it was in the days before it was ^ddivided.

 25 And the Lord, even the Savior, shall ^astand in the midst of his people, and shall ^breign over all flesh.

 26 And they who are in the ^anorth countries shall come in remembrance before the Lord; and their prophets shall hear his voice, and shall no longer stay themselves; and they shall ^bsmite the rocks, and the ice shall flow down at their presence.

 27 And an ^ahighway shall be cast up in the midst of the great deep.

 28 Their enemies shall become a prey unto them,

 29 And in the ^abarren deserts there shall come forth pools of ^bliving water; and the parched ground shall no longer be a thirsty land.

 30 And they shall bring forth their rich ^atreasures unto the children of Ephraim, my servants.

 31 And the boundaries of the everlasting ^ahills shall tremble at their presence.

 32 And there shall they fall down and be ^acrowned with glory, even in Zion, by the hands of the servants of the Lord, even the children of ^bEphraim.

 33 And they shall be filled with ^asongs of everlasting joy.

 34 Behold, this is the ^ablessing of the ^beverlasting God upon the ^ctribes of ^dIsrael, and the richer blessing upon the head of ^eEphraim and his fellows.

 35 And they also of the tribe of ^aJudah, after their pain, shall be ^bsanctified in ^choliness before the Lord, to dwell in his ^dpresence day and night, forever and ever.

 36 And now, verily saith the Lord, that these things might be known among you, O inhabitants of the earth, I have sent forth mine ^aangel flying through the midst of heaven, having the everlasting ^bgospel, who hath appeared unto some and hath committed it unto man, who shall appear unto ^cmany that dwell on the earth.

 37 And this ^agospel shall be ^bpreached unto ^cevery nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people.

 38 And the ^aservants of God shall go forth, saying with a loud voice: Fear God and give glory to him, for the hour of his judgment is come;

 39 And ^aworship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the ^bfountains of waters—

 40 Calling upon the name of the Lord day and night, saying: O that thou wouldst ^arend the heavens, that thou wouldst come down, that the mountains might flow down at thy presence.

 41 And it shall be answered upon their heads; for the presence of the Lord shall be ^aas the melting fire that burneth, and as the fire which causeth the waters to boil.

 42 O Lord, thou shalt come down to make thy name known to thine adversaries, and all nations shall tremble at thy presence—

 43 When thou doest ^aterrible things, things they look not for;

 44 Yea, when thou comest down, and the mountains flow down at thy presence, thou shalt ^ameet him who rejoiceth and worketh righteousness, who remembereth thee in thy ways.
