Common English Bible

⁸ How terrible it will be for you, Assyria—you who are hiding the wicked in your midst! Evil city, remember what I did to Sodom and Gomorrah, ⁹ whose land was dragged down all the way to hell. I will do the same to those who haven’t obeyed me, says the almighty Lord.

The church as God’s people
