9 Shall I not punish them for these things?” says the Lord.
“And shall I not ^aavenge Myself on such a nation as this? ‡

10 “Go up on her walls and destroy,
But do not¹ make a ^acomplete end.
Take away her branches,
For they are not the Lord’s. ‡

12 ^aThey have lied about the Lord,
And said, ^b“It is not He.
^cNeither will¹ evil come upon us,
Nor shall we see sword or famine. ‡

13 And the prophets become wind,
For the word is not in them.
Thus shall it be done to them.”
