The LORD who commands armies told me this:“ Certainly this sin will not be forgiven as long as you live,” says the sovereign master, the LORD who commands armies.

The king was furious! He sent his soldiers, and they put those murderers to death and set their city on fire.

Certainly the sovereign LORD does nothing without first revealing his plan to his servants the prophets.
