who has put his trust in the Lord

and the creatures of the field are Mine.

Look! He struck the rock and water gushed out;
torrents overflowed.

and gave them a full measure
of tears to drink.

brood of evildoers,
depraved children!
They have abandoned the Lord;

will be like Sodom and Gomorrah
when God overthrew them.

Groan quietly; do not observe mourning rites for the dead. Put on your turban and strap your sandals on your feet; do not cover your mustache or eat the bread of mourners.”

‘Say to the house of Israel: This is what the Lord God says: I am about to desecrate My sanctuary, the pride of your power, the delight of your eyes, and the desire of your heart. Also, the sons and daughters you left behind will fall by the sword.
