Punishment of Israel’s Injustice
In the house of the wicked,
And the short measure that is an abomination?
Her inhabitants have spoken lies,
And btheir tongue is deceitful in their mouth.
By making you desolate because of your sins.
1Hunger shall be in your midst.
You may carry some away,1 but shall not save them;
And what you do rescue I will give over to the sword.
