I will make you a perpetual desolation, and your cities shall not be inhabited anymore; and you shall know that I am the Lord.

And slain [men] shall fall in the midst of you, and you shall know that I am the Lord.

He that planted the ear, does He not hear? Or He that formed the eye, does not He perceive?

He that chastises the heathen, shall He not punish, [even] He that teaches man knowledge?

Thus says the Lord God: Because the enemy has said against you, Aha, the old waste places have become a possession for us;

who said, let us take to ourselves the altar of God as an inheritance.
