So I poured out My wrath upon them,

And they went in among the nations, among which they went, and they profaned My holy name, while it was said of them, These are the people of the Lord, and they came forth out of His land.

Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord: I do not do this, O house of Israel, for your sakes, but because of My holy name, which you have profaned among the nations, among whom you went.

And [as for] this lofty house, everyone that passes by it shall be amazed, and shall say, Why has the Lord done [thus] to this land, and to this house?

And [men] shall say, Because they forsook the Lord God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and they attached themselves to other gods, and worshipped them, and served them; and therefore He has brought upon them all this evil.

And nations shall pass through this city, and each shall say to his neighbor, Why has the Lord done thus to this great city?

And they shall say, Because they forsook the covenant of the Lord their God, and worshipped strange gods, and served them.

And the chief captain of the guard took him, and said to him, The Lord your God has pronounced all these evils upon this place;

and the Lord has done it; because you sinned against Him, and hearkened not to His voice.

HETH. Jerusalem has sinned a great sin; therefore has she come into tribulation, all that used to honor her have afflicted her, for they have seen her shame: yea, she herself groaned, and turned backward.

SAMECH. All that go by the way have clapped their hands at you; they have hissed and shaken their head at the daughter of Jerusalem. Is this the city, they say, the crown of joy of all the earth?

PHE. The Lord has done that which He purposed; He has accomplished His word, even the things which He commanded from the ancient days; He has thrown down, and has not spared, and He has caused the enemy to rejoice over you, He has exalted the horn of him that afflicted you.

And I will no more turn away My face from them, because I have poured out My wrath upon the house of Israel, says the Lord God.

And I will be very angry with them in that day, and I will leave them and turn My face away from them, and they shall be devoured. And many evils and afflictions shall come upon them, and they shall say in that day, Because the Lord my God is not with me, these evils have come upon me.

And I will surely turn away My face from them in that day, because of all their evil doings which they have done, because they turned aside after strange gods.

and said, I will turn away My face from them, and will show what shall happen to them in the last days; for it is a perverse generation, sons in whom is no faith.

Why do You stand afar off, O Lord? [Why] do You overlook [us] in times of need, in affliction?

O Lord, in Your good pleasure You added strength to my beauty; but You turned away Your face, and I was troubled.

When you stretch forth your hands, I will turn away My eyes from you; and though you make many supplications, I will not hearken to you; for your hands are full of blood.

And [one] shall say, I will wait for God, who has turned away His face from the house of Jacob, and I will trust in Him.

But rather, your iniquities separate between you and God, and because of your sins has He turned away [His] face from you, so as not to have mercy [upon you].

And there is none that calls upon Your name, or that remembers to take hold of You; for You have turned Your face away from us, and have delivered us up because of our sins.

to fight against the Chaldeans, and to fill it with the corpses of men, whom I struck down in My anger and My wrath, and turned away My face from them, for all their wickedness.

And I will bring upon you a sword avenging the cause of [My] covenant, and you shall flee for refuge to your cities; and I will send out death against you, and you shall be delivered into the hands of your enemies.

How should one pursue a thousand, and two put tens of thousands to flight, if God had not sold them, and the Lord had not delivered them up?

And the Lord was very angry with Israel; and He gave them into the hands of the plunderers, and they plundered them; and He sold them into the hands of their enemies round about, and they could not any longer resist their enemies,

And the Lord was very angry with Israel, and sold them into the hand of Cushan-Rishathaim king of Syria of the rivers: and the children of Israel served Cushan-Rishathaim eight years.

And He delivered them into the hands of [their] enemies; and they that hated them ruled over them.

For what did He give Jacob up to spoil, and Israel to them that plundered him? Did not God [do it] against whom they sinned? [And] they would not walk in His ways, nor hearken to His law.
