The people

The prophets give false words and the priests give decisions by their direction; and my people are glad to have it so: and what will you do in the end?

For the guides of this people are the cause of their wandering from the right way, and those who are guided by them come to destruction.

Let them be: they are blind guides. And if a blind man is guiding a blind man, the two will go falling into a hole together.

Be cast

And the bodies of this people will be food for the birds of heaven and for the beasts of the earth; and there will be no one to send them away.

The bodies of men will be falling like waste on the open fields, and like grain dropped by the grain-cutter, and no one will take them up.

And it will be, when they say to you, Where are we to go? then you are to say to them, The Lord has said, Such as are for death, to death; and such as are for the sword, to the sword; and such as are to be in need of food, to need of food; and such as are to be taken away prisoners, to be taken away.

Death from evil diseases will overtake them; there will be no weeping for them and their bodies will not be put to rest; they will be like waste on the face of the earth: the sword and need of food will put an end to them; their dead bodies will be meat for the birds of heaven and for the beasts of the earth.

For this cause, let their children be without food, and give them over to the power of the sword; and let their wives be without children and become widows; let their men be overtaken by death, and their young men be put to the sword in the fight.

For this cause, see, a time is coming, says the Lord, when this place will no longer be named Topheth, or, The valley of the son of Hinnom, but, The valley of Death.

For

Has not this come on you because you have given up the Lord your God, who was your guide by the way?

Your ways and your doings have made these things come on you; this is your sin; truly it is bitter, going deep into your heart.

And if you say in your heart, Why have these things come on me? because of the number of your sins, your skirts have been uncovered and violent punishment overtakes you.

So the fruit of their way will be their food, and with the designs of their hearts they will be made full.

And a great voice out of the house of God came to my ears, saying to the seven angels, Go, and let that which is in the seven vessels of the wrath of God come down on the earth.

General references

And I will send the sword, and need of food, and disease, among them till they are all cut off from the land which I gave to them and to their fathers.

For there will be no more false visions or smooth use of secret arts in Israel.
