My anger will ignite against this place and will not be extinguished!’” 18 Say this to the king of Judah, who sent you to seek an oracle from the LORD:“This is what the LORD God of Israel has said concerning the words you have heard: 19 ‘You displayed a sensitive spirit and humbled yourself before the LORD when you heard how I intended to make this place and its residents into an appalling example of an accursed people. You tore your clothes and wept before me, and I have heard you,’ says the LORD. 20 ‘Therefore I will allow you to die and be buried in peace. You will not have to witness all the disaster I will bring on this place.’”’” Then they reported back to the king.

Observe the many acts of violence taking place within the city, the oppressive deeds occurring in it.” 10 “They do not know how to do what is right.”(The LORD is speaking.)“They store up the spoils of destructive violence in their fortresses. 11 Therefore,” says the Sovereign LORD,“an enemy will encircle the land. He will take away your power; your fortresses will be looted.” 12 This is what the LORD says:“Just as a shepherd salvages from the lion’s mouth a couple of leg bones or a piece of an ear, so the Israelites who live in Samaria will be salvaged. They will be left with just a corner of a bed, and a part of a couch.” 13 Listen and warn the family of Jacob! The Sovereign LORD, the God who commands armies, is speaking! 14 “Certainly when I punish Israel for their covenant transgressions, I will destroy Bethel’s altars. The horns of the altar will be cut off and fall to the ground. 15 I will destroy both the winter and summer houses.

One field would get rain, but the field that received no rain dried up. 8 People from two or three cities staggered into one city to get water, but remained thirsty. Still you did not come back to me.” The LORD is speaking! 9 “I destroyed your crops with blight and disease. Locusts kept devouring your orchards, vineyards, fig trees, and olive trees. Still you did not come back to me.” The LORD is speaking! 10 “I sent against you a plague like one of the Egyptian plagues. I killed your young men with the sword, along with the horses you had captured. I made the stench from the corpses rise up into your nostrils. Still you did not come back to me.” The LORD is speaking! 11 “I overthrew some of you the way God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah. You were like a burning stick snatched from the flames. Still you did not come back to me.” The LORD is speaking! 12 “Therefore this is what I will do to you, Israel. Because I will do this to you, prepare to meet your God, Israel!
