I made the stench from the corpses rise up into your nostrils. Still you did not come back to me." The Lord is speaking! ¹¹ "I overthrew some of you the way God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah. You were like a burning stick snatched from the flames. Still you did not come back to me." The Lord is speaking!
