"Listen and testify against the house of Jacob," declares the Lord GOD, the God of the Heavenly Armies,

"The Lord GOD has sworn by himself," declares the LORD, the God of the Heavenly Armies, "I utterly detest the arrogance of Jacob; I hate his fortresses; and I will deliver up the city, along with everyone in it.

And so it came about that when the swarm had finished eating the grass of the land, I was saying, "Lord GOD, forgive please! How will Jacob stand, since he is small?"

So I kept on saying, "Lord GOD, forgive please! How will Jacob stand, since he is so small?"

"The LORD has sworn by the pride of Jacob: I will never forget anything they have done.

Look! The eyes of the Lord GOD are on the sinful kingdom. I will destroy it from the face of the earth; but I will not totally destroy the house of Jacob," declares the LORD.
