And the men of his city, the elders and the nobles who lived in his city, did as Jezebel had sent to them, as was written in the letters that she sent to them.
Surely yesterday I have seen the blood of Naboth, and the blood of his sons, a statement of Jehovah. And I will repay you in this portion, a statement of Jehovah. Now, then, take him up, throw him into the portion of Naboth, according to the Word of Jehovah.
The Lord has trampled all my mighty ones in my midst. He called a gathering against me to crush my young men. As a winepress, the Lord trod the virgin daughter of Judah.
And my enemy shall see; and shame shall cover her, the one saying to me, Where is He, Jehovah your God? My eyes shall see her. Now she shall be for a trampling, as the mud of the streets.
And they shall be like mighty ones who trample the mud of the open places in the battle. And they shall fight because Jehovah is with them, and they shall make the riders of horses ashamed.
And you shall tread under the wicked ones, for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day which I am preparing, says Jehovah of Hosts.
You are the salt of the earth, but if the salt becomes tasteless, with what shall it be salted? For it has strength for nothing any more but to be thrown out and to be trampled under by men.
How much worse punishment do you think will be thought worthy to receive, the one having trampled the Son of God, and having counted common the blood of the covenant in which he was sanctified, and having insulted the Spirit of grace?
