11. And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast its fruit before the time in the field, saith Jehovah of hosts.
12. And all nations shall call you blessed; for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith Jehovah of hosts.
13. Your words have been stout against me, saith Jehovah; but ye say, What have we been speaking against thee?
14. Ye say, It is vain to serve God and what profit is it that we keep his charge, and that we walk mournfully before Jehovah of hosts?
15. And now we hold the proud for happy; yea, they that work wickedness are built up; yea, they tempt God and they escape.
