Hear and testify against the house of Jacob,” Declares the Lord God, the God of armies.

The Lord God has sworn by Himself, the Lord God of armies has declared: “I loathe the arrogance of Jacob, And detest his citadels; Therefore I will give up the city and all it contains.”

And it came about, when it had finished eating the vegetation of the land, that I said, “Lord God, please pardon! How can Jacob stand? For he is small.”

Then I said, “Lord God, please stop! How can Jacob stand? For he is small.”

The Lord has sworn by the pride of Jacob, “Indeed, I will never forget any of their deeds.

Behold, the eyes of the Lord God are on the sinful kingdom, And I will eliminate it from the face of the earth; Nevertheless, I will not totally eliminate the house of Jacob,” Declares the Lord.
