This is what the Lord says: “Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. So do you think you can build a house for me? Do I need a place to rest?
Listen to the loud noise coming from the city; hear the noise from the Temple. It is the Lord punishing his enemies, giving them the punishment they should have.
Be silent before the Lord God, because the Lord’s day for judging people is coming soon. The Lord has prepared a sacrifice; he has made holy his invited guests.
