⁵ Thus saith the Lord God; An evil, an only evil, behold, is come.

⁹ What do ye imagine against the Lord? he will make an utter end: affliction shall not rise up the second time.

⁹ And I will do in thee that which I have not done, and whereunto I will not do any more the like, because of all thine abominations.

¹² Therefore thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Behold, I am bringing such evil upon Jerusalem and Judah, that whosoever heareth of it, both his ears shall tingle.

¹³ And I will stretch over Jerusalem the line of Samaria, and the plummet of the house of Ahab: and I will wipe Jerusalem as a man wipeth a dish, wiping it, and turning it upside down.

²¹ For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

² You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities.

¹² And he hath confirmed his words, which he spake against us, and against our judges that judged us, by bringing upon us a great evil: for under the whole heaven hath not been done as hath been done upon Jerusalem.
