But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised His words, and scoffed at His prophets until the wrath of Jehovah went up against His people, until there was no healing.
For I know the purposes which I am planning for you, a statement of Jehovah; purposes of peace, and not for evil; to give you a latter time and a hope.
And it shall be, as I have watched over them to pluck up, and to break down, and to destroy, and to bring calamity; so I will watch over them to build and to plant, a statement of Jehovah.
The earth shall mourn for this, and the heavens above shall grow black, because I have seen, I have purposed and I will not repent, and I will not turn back from it.
I, Jehovah, have spoken; it shall come, and I will do it. I will not let go, and I will not spare, I will not pity. By your ways and by your doings they shall judge you, a statement of the Lord Jehovah.
But My words and My statutes which I commanded My servants the prophets, did they not overtake your fathers? And they turned back and said, As Jehovah of Hosts planned to do to us, according to our ways and according to our doings, so He has done with us.
