        you have reaped depravity,
        you have eaten the fruit of lies,
    because you have trusted in your way

14 Therefore, the noise of war will rise against your people;
        all your fortresses will be destroyed,

        because of your great wickedness.
    At dawn, the king of Israel will be cut off completely.
