Therefore, My wrath is kindled against this place, and it will not be quenched.’ 18 As for the king of Judah who sent you to inquire of the LORD, you shall say to him: ‘Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel: Regarding the words you have heard, 19 Because your heart was tender, and you humbled yourself before the LORD when you heard what I spoke against this place and its inhabitants—that they would become a desolation and a curse—and because you tore your clothes and wept before Me, I also have heard you, declares the LORD. 20 Therefore, behold, I will gather you to your ancestors, and you will be buried in peace. Your eyes will not see all the disaster that I am going to bring upon this place.’” Then they brought back word to the king.

I caused it to rain on one city but not on another; one field received rain, while another withered due to lack of it. 8 People staggered from city to city for water but were not satisfied, yet you did not return to Me,' declares the LORD. 9 I struck you with blight and mildew; the locust devoured your many gardens, vineyards, fig trees, and olive trees, yet you did not return to Me,' declares the LORD. 10 I sent plagues among you like those in Egypt. I killed your young men with the sword, along with your captured horses. The stench of your camps rose into your nostrils, yet you did not return to Me,' declares the LORD. 11 I overthrew some of you as God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah. You were like a firebrand snatched from the burning, yet you did not return to Me,' declares the LORD. 12 Therefore, this is what I will do to you, Israel, and because I will do this to you, prepare to meet your God, O Israel.

Let them not graze or drink water. 8 But let both man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and let them call out to God with fervor. Let each turn from his evil ways and from the violence in their hands. 9 Who knows? God may turn and relent and withdraw His fierce anger, so that we will not perish.” 10 When God saw what they did and how they turned from their evil ways, He relented and did not bring upon them the disaster He had threatened.
