Listen, earth! I will bring evil on this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not listened to my words and they have rejected my law.
“Your own wickedness will correct you, and your backsliding will rebuke you. Therefore you must know and see that it is an evil and bitter thing, that you have forsaken YHWH your God, and that my fear is not in you,” says the Lord, YHWH Almighty.
I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears on them, because when I called, no one answered; when I spoke, they didn’t listen, but they did that which was evil in my eyes, and chose that in which I didn’t delight.”
The people to whom they prophesy will be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword. They will have no one to bury them—them, their wives, their sons, or their daughters, for I will pour their wickedness on them.
I will punish y’all according to the fruit of your* deeds, says YHWH; and I will kindle a fire in her forest, and it will devour all that is around her.’”
Therefore I have poured out my indignation on them. I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath. I have brought their own way on their heads,” says Lord YHWH.
