So then do not be mockers, lest your bonds be made strong; for I have heard from the Lord Jehovah of Hosts that an annihilation is decreed upon the whole earth.

Hear the Word of Jehovah, you rulers of Sodom. Give heed to the Law of our God, you people of Gomorrah.

Jehovah of Hosts said in my ears, Truly many big and pleasant houses shall be laid waste, without inhabitant.

For the terrible one is brought to nothing, and the scorner is destroyed, and all who look after iniquity are cut off;

How long, you simple ones, will you love simplicity; and those who scorn desire their scorning; and fools hate knowledge?

Surely He scorns the scorners, but He gives grace to the lowly.

Scornful men blast and inflame a city, but the wise turn away anger.

In the day of our king, the rulers have made themselves sick, inflamed with wine. He stretches out his hand with scorners.

Behold, you despisers, marvel and perish. For I work a work in your days, a work which you will by no means believe, though one were to declare it to you.
