1
Speak in the ears of my people the words of the prophecy that I will put in your mouth, says the Lord,
2
and cause them to be written on paper; for they are trustworthy and true.
3
Do not fear the plots against you, and do not be troubled by the unbelief of those who oppose you.
4
For all unbelievers shall die in their unbelief.
5
Beware, says the Lord, I am bringing evils upon the world, the sword and famine, death and destruction,
6
because iniquity has spread throughout every land, and their harmful doings have reached their limit.
7
Therefore, says the Lord,
8
I will be silent no longer concerning their ungodly acts that they impiously commit, neither will I tolerate their wicked practices. Innocent and righteous blood cries out to me, and the souls of the righteous cry out continually.
9
I will surely avenge them, says the Lord, and will receive to myself all the innocent blood from among them.
