9 “‘Therefore I shall contend further with YOU people,’+ is the utterance of Jehovah, ‘and with the sons of YOUR sons I shall contend.’+

31 “‘A noise will certainly come clear to the farthest part* of the earth, for there is a controversy that Jehovah has with the nations.+ He must personally put himself in judgment with all flesh.+ As regards the wicked ones, he must give them to the sword,’+ is the utterance of Jehovah.

20 And I will spread over him my net, and he will certainly be caught in my hunting net;+ and I will bring him to Babylon and put myself on judgment with him there respecting his unfaithfulness with which he acted against me.+

4 Hear the word of Jehovah, O sons of Israel, for Jehovah has a legal case with the inhabitants of the land,*+ for there is no truth+ nor loving-kindness* nor knowledge of God in the land.+
