Judgment Declared: The Treachery of Judah

10

Clime vp vpon their walles, and destroy them, but make not a full ende: take away their batilments, for they are not the Lords.

11

For the house of Israel, and the house of Iudah haue grieuously trespassed against me, saith the Lord.

12

They haue denied the Lord, and saide, It is not he, neither shall the plague come vpon vs, neither shall we see sworde nor famine.

13

And the Prophetes shall be as winde, and the worde is not in them: thus shall it come vnto them.

14

Wherefore thus saith the Lord God of hostes, Because ye speake such wordes, beholde, I will put my wordes into thy mouth, like a fire, and this people shall be as wood, and it shall deuoure them.

15

Loe, I will bring a nation vpon you from farre, O house of Israel, saith the Lord, which is a mightie nation, and an ancient nation, a nation whose language thou knowest not, neither vnderstandest what they say.

16

Whose quiuer is as an open sepulchre: they are all very strong.

17

And they shall eate thine haruest and thy bread: they shall deuoure thy sonnes and thy daughters: they shall eate vp thy sheepe and thy bullocks: they shall eate thy vines and thy figge trees: they shall destroy with the sworde thy fenced cities, wherein thou didest trust.

18

Neuerthelesse at those dayes, sayth the Lord, I will not make a full ende of you.

19

And when ye shall say, Wherefore doeth the Lord our God doe these things vnto vs? then shalt thou answere them, Like as ye haue forsaken me and serued strange gods in your land, so shall ye serue strangers in a land that is not yours.
