4 When that time comes, people will use the story about you as an example of disaster, and they will sing this song of despair about your experience:We are completely ruined!The Lord has taken our land awayAnd given it to those who took us captive.”
5 So then, when the time comes for the land to be given back to the Lord's people, there will be no share for any of you.
6 The people preach at me and say, “Don't preach at us. Don't preach about all that. God is not going to disgrace us.
7 Do you think the people of Israel are under a curse? Has the Lord lost his patience? Would he really do such things? Doesn't he speak kindly to those who do right?”
8 The Lord replies, “You attack my people like enemies. Men return from battle, thinking they are safe at home, but there you are, waiting to steal the coats off their backs.
9 You drive the women of my people out of the homes they love, and you have robbed their children of my blessings forever.
10 Get up and go; there is no safety here any more. Your sins have doomed this place to destruction.
