Therefore,thussaysthe LORD,the Godof hosts,"Becauseyou have spokenthisword,Behold,I am makingMy wordsin your mouthfireAnd thispeoplewood,and it will consumethem.
Therefore,a cursedevoursthe earth,and those who livein it are heldguilty.Therefore,the inhabitantsof the earthare burned,and fewmenare left.
Then the LORDstretchedout His handand touchedmy mouth,and the LORDsaidto me, "Behold,I have putMy wordsin your mouth.
"Is not My wordlike fire?"declaresthe LORD,"and like a hammerwhich shattersa rock?
ThereforeI have hewn[them] in piecesby the prophets;I have slainthem by the wordsof My mouth;And the judgmentson you are [like] the lightthat goesforth.
"But did not My wordsand My statutes,whichI commandedMy servantsthe prophets,overtakeyour fathers?Then they repentedand said,As the LORDof hostspurposedto doto us in accordance with our waysand our deeds,soHe has dealtwith us.'"'"
