9 “Look! The day of Jehovah itself is coming, cruel both with fury and with burning anger, in order to make the land an object of astonishment,+ and that it may annihilate [the land’s]* sinners out of it.+

11 When her sprigs have dried up, women coming in will break [them] off, lighting them up.+ For it is not a people of keen understanding.+ That is why its Maker will show it no mercy, and its own Former will show it no favor.+

4 And my eye will not feel sorry for you,+ neither will I feel compassion, for upon you I shall bring your own ways, and in the midst of you your own detestable things will come to be;+ and YOU people will have to know that I am Jehovah.’+

14 I myself, Jehovah, have spoken.+ It must come,+ and I will act. I shall not neglect,+ neither shall I feel sorry+ nor feel regret.+ According to your ways and according to your dealings they* will certainly judge you,’+ is the utterance of the Sovereign Lord Jehovah.”

5 But according to your hardness+ and unrepentant heart+ you are storing up wrath+ for yourself on the day of wrath+ and of the revealing+ of God’s righteous judgment.+
