Do not My words do good To him who walks uprightly?“ Lately My people have risen up as an enemy— You pull off the robe with the garment From those who trust you, as they pass by, Like men returned from war.The women of My people you cast out From their pleasant houses; From their children You have taken away My glory forever.“ Arise and depart, For this is not your rest; Because it is defiled, it shall destroy, Yes, with utter destruction.If a man should walk in a false spirit And speak a lie, saying,‘ I will prophesy to you of wine and drink,’ Even he would be the prattler of this people.
