So Jehovah said to me, Go and stand in the gate of the sons of the people, that by which the kings of Judah come in, and by which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem.
And say, Hear the Word of Jehovah, O kings of Judah, and those living in Jerusalem. So says Jehovah of Hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will bring evil on this place by which every one who hear, his ears will tingle.
Because they have forsaken Me, and have estranged this place, and have burned incense in it to other gods whom they and their fathers have not known, and not the kings of Judah, and they have filled this place with the blood of innocent ones,
and say, Hear the Word of Jehovah, O king of Judah who sits on the throne of David, you and your servants, and your people who enter in by these gates.
Hear this, O priests, and attend, house of Israel. And give ear, house of the king. For the judgment is toward you, because you have been a snare to Mizpeh, and a net spread on Tabor.
Hear this Word, cows of Bashan who are in the mountain of Samaria, those press- ing down the poor ones, those crushing the needy ones, who say to their husbands, Bring in, that we may drink.
