Hear you, and testify in the house of Jacob, says the Lord GOD, {} the God of hosts,

The Lord GOD has sworn by himself, says the LORD the God of hosts, I abhor the excellency of Jacob, and hate his palaces: therefore will I deliver up the city with all that is in it.

And it came to pass, that when they had finished eating the grass of the land, then I said, O Lord GOD, forgive, I beseech you: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small.

Then said I, O Lord GOD, cease, I beseech you: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small.

The LORD has sworn by the pride of Jacob, Surely I will never forget any of their works.

Behold, the eyes of the Lord GOD are upon the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the face of the earth; except that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob, says the LORD.
