Verse 23

For they have done outrageous things in Israel, committing adultery with their neighbors' wives and speaking lies in my name, things I did not command them to do. I am the one who knows and the one who witnesses this, declares the LORD.

They speak abusively about things they do not understand, and in their destruction, they too will be destroyed. 13 They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done.
