Therefore, a statement of the Lord, Jehovah of Hosts, the mighty One of Israel, Alas! I will be eased of My adversaries, and avenge Myself of My enemies.
In the torrent’s smoothness is your portion; they, they are your lot; even to them you have poured a drink offering; you have offered a food offering. Should I be consoled over these?
Therefore, so says Jehovah the God of Israel against the shepherds who are feeding My people: You have scattered My flock, and have driven them away, and have not visited them. Behold, I will visit on you the evil of your doings, says Jehovah.
And Jehovah could not still bear it because of the evil of your doings, because of the abominations you have done. And your land became a waste, and a horror, and a curse, without one living in it, as this day.
And I am full of the fury of Jehovah; I am weary with holding in. Pour it out on the child in the street and on the circle of the young men together. For even the husband with the wife shall be taken, the elder with fullness of days.
For so Jehovah of Hosts has said, Cut down her trees and pour out a siege-mound against Jerusalem. She is the city to be called to account; in her midst is oppression, all of her.
Your perversity is complete, daughter of Zion; He will not add to exile you. He will visit your perversity, daughter of Edom; He will expose your sins.
And My eye shall not spare, and I will not have pity; I will put on you according to your ways and your disgusting things that are in your midst. And you shall know that I am Jehovah who strikes.
And I will call to account on her the days of the Baals in which she burned incense to them. Yea, she put on herself her nose rings, and her jewels, and she has gone after those loving her and forgotten Me, says Jehovah.
And for the sacrifices of My offerings, they sacrifice flesh, and they eat. Jehovah did not accept them. Now He will remember their iniquity and call their sins to account. They shall turn back to Egypt.
and I will bring a sword on you, executing the vengeance of the covenant, and you shall be gathered to your cities, and I shall send pestilence into your midst; and you shall be given into the hand of an enemy.
God is jealous, and Jehovah is avenging, Jehovah is avenging and is a possessor of fury. Jehovah keeps avenging to His flinty ones, and He keeps wrath against His enemies.
Vengeance and retribution belong to Me; in due time their foot will slip; for the day of their calamity is near, and the things prepared are hurrying for them.
Rejoice, O nations, of His people; for He shall avenge the blood of His servants, and shall render vengeance to His adversaries, and shall have mercy on His land and His people.
