Therefore thus says the LORD, the God Tzeva'ot, Because you speak this word, behold, I will make my words in your mouth fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour them.
Therefore the curse has devoured the earth, and those who dwell therein are found guilty. Therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.
But my words and my decrees, which I commanded my servants the prophets, didn't they overtake your fathers? *Then they repented and said, 'Just as the LORD of Armies determined to do to us, according to our ways, and according to our practices, so he has dealt with us.'*
