    they said, “He will do nothing!
No harm will come to us;(B)
    we will never see sword or famine.(C)

    and the word is not in them;
    so let what they say be done to them.”

12 They have lied about the Lord
    and said, “He’ll do nothing![a]

    the word isn’t in them.
        Thus and so may it be done to them.
