That the sword

But if you say, ‘We will not stay in this land,’ so as not to obey the voice of the Lord your God,

I will punish those living in the land of Egypt just as I punished Jerusalem by sword, famine, and plague.

“But if you do not obey the Lord your God by carefully following all His commands and statutes I am giving you today, all these curses will come and overtake you:

Disaster pursues sinners,
but good rewards the righteous.

You fear the sword, so I will bring the sword against you.” This is the declaration of the Lord God.

I saw the Lord standing beside the altar, and He said:

Strike the capitals of the pillars
so that the thresholds shake;
knock them down on the heads of all the people.
Then I will kill the rest of them with the sword.
None of those who flee will get away;
none of the fugitives will escape.

But didn’t My words and My statutes that I commanded My servants the prophets overtake your ancestors? They repented and said: As the Lord of Hosts purposed to deal with us for our ways and deeds, so He has dealt with us.”

If we let Him continue in this way, everyone will believe in Him! Then the Romans will come and remove both our place and our nation.”

There ye

“Therefore, this is what the Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: I am about to turn against you to bring disaster, to cut off all Judah.
