Despisement » The reward for despising the word of God
You will go up in flames like straw and hay! You have rejected the law of the holy God Jehovah the All-Powerful Holy One of Israel. Now your roots will rot, and your blossoms will turn to dust.
Any who sin deliberately, natives or foreigners, are guilty of treating Jehovah with contempt. They shall be put to death. They have rejected what Jehovah said and have deliberately broken one of his commandments. They are responsible for their own death.
They mocked God's messengers. They despised his words, and made fun of his prophets until Jehovah became angry with his people. He could no longer heal them.
Write this on a tablet for them, and inscribe it in a book so that it will be there in the future as a permanent witness. These people are rebellious and deceitful children. They refuse to listen to Jehovah's Law. They say to the seers: Do not see the future. They say to those who have visions: 'Do not have visions that tell us what is right. Tell us what we want to hear. Prophesy illusions. read more.
Get out of our way! Stop blocking our path! Get the Holy One of Israel out of our sight.' This is what the Holy One of Israel says: You have rejected this warning, trusted oppression and deceit, and you leaned upon them for support. For that reason your sin will be like a high wall with a bulging crack, ready to fall. All of a sudden it will fall. It will break like pottery. It will be smashed. Nothing will be left of it. No piece will be big enough to carry live coals from a fireplace or to dip water from a reservoir. The Lord Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel, says: Return to me and be saved. You can have rest. You can be strong by being quiet and by trusting me. But you do not want that! You have said: No, we will flee on horses. So you flee. You added: We will ride on fast horses. So those who chase you will also be fast. One thousand people will flee when one person threatens them. You will flee when five threaten you. Then you will be left alone like a flagpole on top of a mountain, like a signpost on a hill.

Jehovah continued: I will not withdraw punishment for the many transgressions of Judah. For they have rejected the Law of Jehovah! They have not kept his statutes. Their lies have led them astray, those after which their fathers walked. I will send fire upon Judah and it will devour the fortified buildings of Jerusalem.
