and breasts that cannot nurse!
7:13 Woe to them! For they have fled from me!
Destruction to them! For they have rebelled against me!
I want to deliver
but they have lied to me.
13:7 So
like a leopard I will lurk by the path.

in their distress they will earnestly seek me.

the birds of the air, and the creatures that crawl on the ground.
I will abolish
– that is, every weapon of warfare
and I will allow them to live securely.”
9:4 They will not pour out drink offerings of wine to the Lord;
they will not please him with their sacrifices.
Their sacrifices will be like bread eaten while in mourning;
all those who eat them will make themselves ritually unclean.
For their bread will be only to satisfy their appetite;
it will not come into the temple of the Lord.
