Judgment Not Postponed

17 And the word of Yahweh came[a] to me, saying,[b] 18 “Son of man,[c] you must eat your food with trembling, and your water with shuddering, and with anxiety you must drink. 19 And you must say to the people of the land, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh to the inhabitants of Jerusalem about the land of Israel: “They will eat their food with anxiety and their water they will drink with horror, because their land will be desolate from[d] its fullness because of all the violence of those who are dwelling in it.[e] 20 And the inhabited cites will be desolate,[f] and the land will be a desolation, and you will know that I am Yahweh.”’”
