Jehovah is slow to anger, and great in power. And He does not by any means acquit the guilty. Jehovah has His way in the tempest and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of His feet.

For as thorns are woven together, and as their drunkards are drunken, they shall be devoured like stubble fully dry.

So says Jehovah: Though secure and likewise many, yet they shall be cut down, and he shall pass away. And though I have afflicted you, I will afflict you no more.

And Jehovah has commanded concerning you, Not one of your name shall be sown any more; I will cut off the graven image and the molten image out of the house of your gods. I will make your grave; for you are despised.

He shall remember his nobles; they shall stumble in their walking; they shall make haste to its wall, and the covering shall be prepared.

The gates of the rivers shall be opened, and the palace shall be melted.

Behold, I am against you, says Jehovah of Hosts, and I will burn her chariots in the smoke, and the sword shall devour your young lions. I will cut off your prey from the earth, and the voice of your messengers shall be heard no more.

because of the many harlotries of the well-favored harlot, the mistress of sorceries who sells nations by her harlotries, and families by her sorceries.

And it shall be that all those who look upon you shall flee from you, and say, Nineveh is laid waste; who will weep for her? From where shall I seek comforters for you?

You also shall be drunken; you shall be hidden, you also shall seek strength because of the enemy.

All your strongholds shall be like fig trees with the first fruits; if they are shaken, they shall even fall into the mouth of the eater.

Behold, your people in your midst are women. The gates of your land shall surely be opened to your enemies; the fire shall devour your bars.
