Strongs On/Off
Context
7:9 “The Lord who rules over all said , ‘Exercise true judgment and show brotherhood and compassion to each other .
7:10 You must not oppress the widow , the orphan , the foreigner , or the poor , nor should anyone secretly plot evil against his fellow human being .’
7:11 “But they refused to pay attention , turning away stubbornly and stopping their ears so they could not hear .
7:12 Indeed, they made their heart as hard as diamond , so that they could not obey the Torah and the other words the Lord who rules over all had sent by his Spirit through the former prophets . Therefore, the Lord who rules over all had poured out great wrath .
7:13 “‘It then came about that just as I cried out , but they would not obey , so they will cry out , but I will not listen ,’ the Lord Lord who rules over all had said .
7:14 ‘Rather, I will sweep them away in a storm into all the nations they are not familiar with.’ Thus the land had become desolate because of them, with no one crossing through or returning , for they had made the fruitful land a waste .”
