20 But, you, Lord of hosts, just Judge,searcher of mind and heart,Let me witness the vengeance you take on them,for to you I have entrusted my cause!
21 Therefore, thus says the Lord concerning the men of Anathoth who seek your life and say, “Do not prophesy in the name of the Lord; otherwise you shall die by our hand.”
22 Therefore, thus says the Lord of hosts: I am going to punish them. The young men shall die by the sword; their sons and daughters shall die by famine.
23 None shall be spared among them, for I will bring disaster upon the men of Anathoth, the year of their punishment.
