Nevertheless I will now entreat the residue of this people no more as afore time, sayeth the LORD of Hosts,

And so will I compass my house round about with my men of war going to and fro: that no oppressor come upon them any more. For that have I seen now with mine eyes.

They shall be as the giants, which in the battle tread down the mire upon the streets. They shall fight, for the LORD shall be with them, so that the horsemen shall be confounded.

Therefore will I no more spare those that dwell in the land, sayeth the LORD. But lo, I will deliver the people, every man, into his neighbour's hand and into the hand of his king: that they may smite the land. And out of their hands will I not deliver them."

Then said I, "I will feed you no more! The thing that dieth, let it die: and that will perish, let it perish. And let the remnant eat, every one the flesh of his neighbour."

And then, sayeth the LORD of Hosts, I will destroy the names of Idols out of the land: so that they shall no more be put in remembrance. As for the false prophets also and the unclean spirit, I shall take them out of the land:

so that if any of them prophesy any more, his own father and mother that begat him, shall say unto him, 'Thou shalt die, for thou speakest lies under the name of the LORD.' Yea, his own father and mother that begat him, shall wound him, when he prophesieth.

There shall men dwell, and there shall be no more cursing: but Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited.

yea all the kettles in Jerusalem and Judah shall be holy unto the LORD of Hosts: and all they that slay offerings, shall come and take of them, and dight them therein. And at that time there shall be no more Cananites in the house of the LORD.
