So I grabbed my mistress, cut her in pieces, and sent her remains throughout the territory of Israel's inheritance, because they've committed a vile, stupid outrage in Israel.

Can one say to a king, "You're vile!' or to nobles, "You're wicked!'?

Now this is what the Lord has decreed about you, Nineveh: "There will be no more children born to carry on your name. I will cut out the graven and molten images from the temples of your gods. I myself will dig your grave, because you are vile."

What the wicked person sacrifices is detestable how much more when he offers it with vile motives!
