The Lord was determined to destroy the walls of beautiful Jerusalem. He made careful plans for their destruction, then did what he had planned. Therefore, the ramparts and walls have fallen down before him.

“ Son of man, this is what the Sovereign Lord says to Israel:“ The end is here! Wherever you look— east, west, north, or south— your land is finished.No hope remains, for I will unleash my anger against you. I will call you to account for all your detestable sins.I will turn my eyes away and show no pity. I will repay you for all your detestable sins. Then you will know that I am the Lord.“ This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Disaster after disaster is coming your way!The end has come. It has finally arrived. Your final doom is waiting!O people of Israel, the day of your destruction is dawning. The time has come; the day of trouble is near. Shouts of anguish will be heard on the mountains, not shouts of joy.Soon I will pour out my fury on you and unleash my anger against you. I will call you to account for all your detestable sins.I will turn my eyes away and show no pity. I will repay you for all your detestable sins. Then you will know that it is I, the Lord, who is striking the blow.

You have abandoned me and turned your back on me,” says the Lord.“ Therefore, I will raise my fist to destroy you. I am tired of always giving you another chance.

I will test you with the measuring line of justice and the plumb line of righteousness. Since your refuge is made of lies, a hailstorm will knock it down. Since it is made of deception, a flood will sweep it away.

I will judge Jerusalem by the same standard I used for Samaria and the same measure I used for the family of Ahab. I will wipe away the people of Jerusalem as one wipes a dish and turns it upside down.

But he will sweep away his enemies in an overwhelming flood. He will pursue his foes into the darkness of night.Why are you scheming against the Lord? He will destroy you with one blow; he won’t need to strike twice!

“ What do you see?” the angel asked.“ I see a flying scroll,” I replied.“ It appears to be about 30 feet long and 15 feet wide.”

Where is another God like you, who pardons the guilt of the remnant, overlooking the sins of his special people? You will not stay angry with your people forever, because you delight in showing unfailing love.
