¹⁹ and say unto the people of the land, Thus hath the Lord GOD said regarding the inhabitants of Jerusalem and the land of Israel. They shall eat their bread with anxiety and drink their water with terror that her land may be desolate from all that is in it because of the violence of all those that dwell therein. ²⁰ The inhabited cities will be laid waste and the land will be a desolation. So you will know that I am the Lord.”’” ²¹ And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

I Am the Lord

Know that I Am the Lord
