for the Lord will execute his word upon the earth, finishing it and cutting it short.

For the Lord will give effect to his word on the earth, putting an end to it and cutting it short.

διοτι θελει τελειωσει και συντεμει λογαριασμον μετα δικαιοσυνης, επειδη συντετμημενον λογαριασμον θελει καμει ο Κυριος επι της γης.

For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth.
