Listen, and testify against the descendants of Jacob, declares Adonay Yahweh Elohe Tsebaoth.

Elohim forms the mountains and creates the wind. He reveals his thoughts to humans. He makes dawn and dusk appear. He walks on the high places of the earth. His name is Yahweh Elohe Tsebaoth.

Search for good instead of evil so that you may live. Then Yahweh Elohe Tsebaoth will be with you, as you have said.

Hate evil and love good. Then you will be able to have justice in your courts. Maybe Yahweh Elohe Tsebaoth will have pity on the faithful few of Joseph.

This is what Adonay Yahweh Elohe Tsebaoth, says: There will be loud crying in every city square, and people will say in every street, “Oh, no!” They will call on farmers to mourn and on professional mourners to cry loudly.

I will send you into exile beyond Damascus, says Yahweh, whose name is Elohe Tsebaoth.

Adonay Yahweh has sworn an oath on himself. Yahweh Elohe Tsebaoth declares: I am disgusted with Jacob’s pride, and I hate his palaces. So I will hand over the city and everything in it.

Adonay Yahweh Tsebaoth touches the earth. It quakes, and all who live on it mourn. All of it rises like the Nile and sinks like Egypt’s river.
