Israel’s Pride Judged

The Lord God has sworn by himself(A) – this is the declaration of the Lord, the God of Armies:

I loathe Jacob’s pride(B)
and hate his citadels,(C)
so I will hand over the city(D) and everything in it.

And if there are ten men left in one house, they will die.(E) 10 A close relative[a] and burner[b](F) will remove his corpse[c] from the house. He will call to someone in the inner recesses of the house, ‘Any more with you? ’

That person will reply, ‘None.’

Then he will say, ‘Silence, because the Lord’s name must not be invoked.’(G)
