1I saw the Lord standing on the altar: and he said, Smite the mercy seat, and the porch shall be shaken: and cut through into the heads of all; and I will slay the remnant of them with the sword: no one of them fleeing shall escape, and no one of them striving to save himself shall be delivered.

— Amos 9:2 —
