Put in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe. Go in, tread, for the winepress is full. The vats overflow, for their evil is great.
And another angel came out of the temple, calling with a loud voice to him who sat on the cloud, “Put in your sickle, and reap, for the hour to reap has come, for the harvest of the earth is fully ripe.” So he who sat on the cloud swung his sickle across the earth, and the earth was reaped. Then another angel came out of the temple in heaven, and he too had a sharp sickle. And another angel came out from the altar, the angel who has authority over the fire, and he called with a loud voice to the one who had the sharp sickle, “Put in your sickle and gather the clusters from the vine of the earth, for its grapes are ripe.” So the angel swung his sickle across the earth and gathered the grape harvest of the earth and threw it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.
But when the grain is ripe, at once he puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come.”
For you also, O Judah, a harvest is appointed. When I restore the fortunes of my people,
“I have trodden the winepress alone, and from the peoples no one was with me; I trod them in my anger and trampled them in my wrath; their lifeblood spattered on my garments, and stained all my apparel.
and the enemy who sowed them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels.
For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: The daughter of Babylon is like a threshing floor at the time when it is trodden; yet a little while and the time of her harvest will come.”
“The Lord rejected all my mighty men in my midst; he summoned an assembly against me to crush my young men; the Lord has trodden as in a winepress the virgin daughter of Judah.
“You shall count seven weeks. Begin to count the seven weeks from the time the sickle is first put to the standing grain.
Then the Lord said, “Because the outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is great and their sin is very grave,
And they shall come back here in the fourth generation, for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet complete.”
Now the men of Sodom were wicked, great sinners against the Lord.
