Listen and warn the family of Jacob! The sovereign Lord, the God who commands armies, is speaking!

I said, “Sovereign Lord, stop! How can Jacob survive? He is too weak!”

The Lord confirms this oath by the arrogance of Jacob: “I swear I will never forget all you have done!

The sovereign Lord confirms this oath by his very own life. The Lord, the God who commands armies, is speaking: “I despise Jacob’s arrogance; I hate their fortresses. I will hand over to their enemies the city of Samaria and everything in it.”

When they had completely consumed the earth’s vegetation, I said, “Sovereign Lord, forgive Israel! How can Jacob survive? He is too weak!”

Look, the sovereign Lord is watching the sinful nation, and I will destroy it from the face of the earth. But I will not completely destroy the family of Jacob,” says the Lord.
