<p class="bodytext">&#8220;Therefore this is what the sovereign <sc>Lordsc> says: Because you have forgotten me and completely disregarded me,<n id="1" /> you must bear now the punishment<n id="2" /> for your obscene conduct and prostitution.&#8221;p>

Recite a proverb to this rebellious house<n id="1" /> and say to them, &#8216;This is what the sovereign <sc>Lordsc> says:p> <p class="poetry">&#8220;&#8216;Set on the pot,<n id="2" /> set it on,p> <p class="poetry">pour water in it too;p>

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;&#8216;I the <sc>Lordsc> have spoken; judgment<n id="1" /> is coming and I will act! I will not relent, or show pity, or be sorry!<n id="2" /> I will judge you<n id="3" /> according to your conduct<n id="4" /> and your deeds, declares the sovereign <sc>Lordsc>.&#8217;&#8221;p>

Ezekiel will be an object lesson for you; you will do all that he has done. When it happens, then you will know that I am the sovereign <sc>Lordsc>.&#8217;p>

For this is what the sovereign <sc>Lordsc> says: Because you clapped your hands, stamped your feet, and rejoiced with intense scorn<n id="1" /> over the land of Israel,

<t /><p class="bodytext">&#8220;This is what the sovereign <sc>Lordsc> says: &#8216;Moab<n id="1" /> and Seir say, &#8220;Look, the house of Judah is like all the other nations.&#8221;

<t /><p class="bodytext">&#8220;This is what the sovereign <sc>Lordsc> says: &#8216;Edom<n id="1" /> has taken vengeance against the house of Judah; they have made themselves fully culpable<n id="2" /> by taking vengeance<n id="3" /> on them.<n id="4" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">&#8220;This is what the sovereign <sc>Lordsc> says: &#8216;The Philistines<n id="1" /> have exacted merciless revenge,<n id="2" /> showing intense scorn<n id="3" /> in their effort to destroy Judah<n id="4" /> with unrelenting hostility.<n id="5" />

I will make you a bare rock; you will be a place where fishing nets are spread. You will never be built again,<n id="1" /> for I, the <sc>Lord,sc> have spoken, declares the sovereign <sc>Lordsc>.p>

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;This is what the sovereign <sc>Lordsc> says to Tyre: Oh, how the coastlands will shake at the sound of your fall, when the wounded groan, at the massive slaughter in your midst!

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;&#8216;No longer will Israel suffer from the sharp briers<n id="1" /> or painful thorns of all who surround and scorn them.<n id="2" /> Then they will know that I am the sovereign <sc>Lordsc>.p>

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;&#8216;Therefore, this is what the sovereign <sc>Lordsc> says: Look, I am about to bring a sword against you, and I will kill<n id="1" /> every person and every animal.

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;&#8216;For this is what the sovereign <sc>Lordsc> says: At the end of forty years<n id="1" /> I will gather Egypt from the peoples where they were scattered.
