Seeker Overlay ON
*
Yahweh gave me knowledge of it ,
and I knew it :
then you showed me their doings .
*
But I was like a gentle lamb that is led to the slaughter ;
and I didn '
t know that they had devised devices against me ,
saying ,
Let us destroy the tree with its fruit ,
and let us cut him off from the land of the living ,
that his name may be no more remembered .
*
But ,
Yahweh of Armies ,
who judges righteously ,
who tests the heart and the mind ,
I shall see your vengeance on them ;
for to you have I revealed my cause .
*
Therefore thus says Yahweh concerning the men of Anathoth ,
who seek your life ,
saying ,
You shall not prophesy in the name of Yahweh ,
that you not die by our hand ;
*
therefore thus says Yahweh of Armies ,
Behold ,
I will punish them :
the young men shall die by the sword ;
their sons and their daughters shall die by famine ;
*
and there shall be no remnant to them :
for I will bring evil on the men of Anathoth ,
even the year of their visitation .
