I will punish those who live in the land of Egypt with war, starvation, and disease just as I punished Jerusalem.

"But if you ignore the Lord your God and are not careful to keep all his commandments and statutes I am giving you today, then all these curses will come upon you in full force:

Calamity pursues sinners, but prosperity rewards the righteous.

You fear the sword, so the sword I will bring against you,' declares the sovereign Lord.

I saw the sovereign One standing by the altar and he said, "Strike the tops of the support pillars, so the thresholds shake! Knock them down on the heads of all the people, and I will kill the survivors with the sword. No one will be able to run away; no one will be able to escape.

But have my words and statutes, which I commanded my servants the prophets, not outlived your fathers? Then they paid attention and confessed, 'The Lord who rules over all has indeed done what he said he would do to us, because of our sinful ways.'"

If we allow him to go on in this way, everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away our sanctuary and our nation."

There ye
