And now, what do I have here,” declares the Lord, “seeing that My people have been taken away without reason?” Again the Lord declares, “Those who rule over them howl, and My (E)name is continually reviled all day long. Therefore, My people shall (F)know My name; therefore on that day I am the one who is speaking, ‘Here I am.’”
