Javan, Tubal, and Meshech were your clients; they exchanged slaves and bronze items for your merchandise.

Edom was your trade partner because of the abundance of your goods; they exchanged turquoise, purple, embroidered work, fine linen, coral, and rubies for your products.

I will turn you into a perpetual desolation, and your cities will not be inhabited. Then you will know that I am the Lord.

I will put my Spirit within you; I will take the initiative and you will obey my statutes and carefully observe my regulations.

Then you will live in the land I gave to your fathers; you will be my people, and I will be your God.
