5. But listen to what God has to sayto you who reverently respond to his Word:“Your own families hate youand turn you out because of me.They taunt you, ‘Let us see God’s glory!If God’s so great, why aren’t you happy?’But they’re the oneswho are going to end up shamed.”
6. Rumbles of thunder from the city!A voice out of the Temple!God’s voice,handing out judgment to his enemies:
17. “All who enter the sacred groves for initiation in those unholy rituals that climaxed in that foul and obscene meal of pigs and mice will eat together and then die together.” God’s Decree.
24. “And then they’ll go out and look at what happenedto those who rebelled against me. Corpses!Maggots endlessly eating away on them,an endless supply of fuel for fires.Everyone who sees what’s happenedand smells the stench retches.”
