Likewise, I will no longer have pity on the people of the land,” says the Lord.“ I will let them fall into each other’s hands and into the hands of their king. They will turn the land into a wilderness, and I will not rescue them.”

耶和华说：‘我不再怜恤这地的居民，必将这民交给各人的邻舍和他们王的手中。他们必毁灭这地，我也不救这民脱离他们的手。’”

我不再怜悯这地的居民。看哪，我要将这些人交在各人的邻舍和君王手中；他们必毁灭这地，我却不救任何一个脱离他们的手。这是耶和华说的。”

我不再怜悯这地的居民。看哪，我要将这些人交在各人的邻舍和君王手中；他们必毁灭这地，我却不救任何一个脱离他们的手。这是耶和华说的。”

因此我必不再怜恤这地的居民（这是耶和华的宣告）。看哪！我把他们各人交在他的邻舍和君王的手中。他们必摧毁这地，我必不救这地的居民脱离他们的手。”

耶和華說：『我不再憐恤這地的居民，必將這民交給各人的鄰舍和他們王的手中。他們必毀滅這地，我也不救這民脫離他們的手。』」

我不再憐憫這地的居民。看哪，我要將這些人交在各人的鄰舍和君王手中；他們必毀滅這地，我卻不救任何一個脫離他們的手。這是耶和華說的。」

因此，我不再憐憫這地方的居民，我要使他們落在鄰人及其君王手中，任這地方被摧毀，必不從敵人手中拯救他們。這是耶和華說的。」

因此我必不再憐恤這地的居民（這是耶和華的宣告）。看哪！我把他們各人交在他的鄰舍和君王的手中。他們必摧毀這地，我必不救這地的居民脫離他們的手。”

因此我必不再顧惜這地的居民，永恆主發神諭說。看吧，我必將人各交於其牧民者手中，各交於其王手中。他們必砸毁這地；我必不援救人脫離他們的手。』

因此耶和華宣告：「我必不再憐恤這地的居民。看哪，我必把各人交在他的鄰人和他的君王手中！他們將摧毀這地，我必不解救這地的居民脫離他們的手。」

耶和華云、斯土居民、我不復惜之、必付於其鄰與王、彼將擊斯土、我不拯之於其手、

耶和華曰、我不復宥斯土之民、使王公庶民、各相戕伐、殲滅斯邦、我不救援、

主曰、我不復顧惜斯地之居民、使之互相殘殺、又付之於其王之手、必毀滅斯地、我不救之脫於其手、

For I will no longer have pity on the people of the land,” declares the Lord.“ I will give everyone into the hands of their neighbors and their king. They will devastate the land, and I will not rescue anyone from their hands.”

I will no longer have pity on the people in the land,” announces the Lord.“ I will hand all of them over to their neighbors and their king. They will destroy the land. And I will not save anyone from their power.”

For I will no longer have pity on the inhabitants of this land, declares the Lord. Behold, I will cause each of them to fall into the hand of his neighbor, and each into the hand of his king, and they shall crush the land, and I will deliver none from their hand.”

Indeed, I will no longer have compassion on the inhabitants of the land”— this is the LORD’s declaration.“ Instead, I will turn everyone over to his neighbor and his king. They will devastate the land, and I will not rescue it from their hand.”

For I will no longer have compassion for the inhabitants of the land,” declares the Lord;“ but behold, I will let the people fall, each into another’s power and into the power of his king; and they will crush the land, and I will not rescue them from their power.”

For I will no longer pity the inhabitants of the land,” says the Lord.“ But indeed I will give everyone into his neighbor’s hand and into the hand of his king. They shall attack the land, and I will not deliver them from their hand.”

For I will no more pity the inhabitants of the land, saith Jehovah; but, lo, I will deliver the men every one into his neighbor’s hand, and into the hand of his king; and they shall smite the land, and out of their hand I will not deliver them.

I will smash them against each other, even parents against children, says the Lord. I will not let my pity or mercy or compassion keep me from destroying them.’”

The remnant left in Israel will take their place among the nations. They will be like a lion among the animals of the forest, like a strong young lion among flocks of sheep and goats, pouncing and tearing as they go with no rescuer in sight.

“ The king was furious, and he sent out his army to destroy the murderers and burn their town.

The land will be blackened by the fury of the Lord of Heaven’s Armies. The people will be fuel for the fire, and no one will spare even his own brother.They will attack their neighbor on the right but will still be hungry. They will devour their neighbor on the left but will not be satisfied. In the end they will even eat their own children.Manasseh will feed on Ephraim, Ephraim will feed on Manasseh, and both will devour Judah. But even then the Lord’s anger will not be satisfied. His fist is still poised to strike.

Dear friends, if we deliberately continue sinning after we have received knowledge of the truth, there is no longer any sacrifice that will cover these sins.There is only the terrible expectation of God’s judgment and the raging fire that will consume his enemies.For anyone who refused to obey the law of Moses was put to death without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.Just think how much worse the punishment will be for those who have trampled on the Son of God, and have treated the blood of the covenant, which made us holy, as if it were common and unholy, and have insulted and disdained the Holy Spirit who brings God’s mercy to us.For we know the one who said,“ I will take revenge. I will pay them back.” He also said,“ The Lord will judge his own people.”It is a terrible thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

Repent, all of you who forget me, or I will tear you apart, and no one will help you.

Before the work on the Temple began, there were no jobs and no money to hire people or animals. No traveler was safe from the enemy, for there were enemies on all sides. I had turned everyone against each other.

From now on families will be split apart, three in favor of me, and two against— or two in favor and three against.‘ Father will be divided against son and son against father; mother against daughter and daughter against mother; and mother in law against daughter in law and daughter in law against mother in law.’”

So I told them,“ I won’t be your shepherd any longer. If you die, you die. If you are killed, you are killed. And let those who remain devour each other!”

So I will not spare them or have any pity on them. I will fully repay them for all they have done.”

The godly people have all disappeared; not one honest person is left on the earth. They are all murderers, setting traps even for their own brothers.Both their hands are equally skilled at doing evil! Officials and judges alike demand bribes. The people with influence get what they want, and together they scheme to twist justice.Even the best of them is like a brier; the most honest is as dangerous as a hedge of thorns. But your judgment day is coming swiftly now. Your time of punishment is here, a time of confusion.Don’t trust anyone— not your best friend or even your wife!For the son despises his father. The daughter defies her mother. The daughter in law defies her mother in law. Your enemies are right in your own household!As for me, I look to the Lord for help. I wait confidently for God to save me, and my God will certainly hear me.

“ Don’t imagine that I came to bring peace to the earth! I came not to bring peace, but a sword.‘ I have come to set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter in law against her mother in law.Your enemies will be right in your own household!’

“ After this period of sixty two sets of seven, the Anointed One will be killed, appearing to have accomplished nothing, and a ruler will arise whose armies will destroy the city and the Temple. The end will come with a flood, and war and its miseries are decreed from that time to the very end.The ruler will make a treaty with the people for a period of one set of seven, but after half this time, he will put an end to the sacrifices and offerings. And as a climax to all his terrible deeds, he will set up a sacrilegious object that causes desecration, until the fate decreed for this defiler is finally poured out on him.”

I will overthrow royal thrones and destroy the power of foreign kingdoms. I will overturn their chariots and riders. The horses will fall, and their riders will kill each other.

As a result, you will be held responsible for the murder of all godly people of all time— from the murder of righteous Abel to the murder of Zechariah son of Berekiah, whom you killed in the Temple between the sanctuary and the altar.I tell you the truth, this judgment will fall on this very generation.“ O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones God’s messengers! How often I have wanted to gather your children together as a hen protects her chicks beneath her wings, but you wouldn’t let me.And now, look, your house is abandoned and desolate.

“ Away with him,” they yelled.“ Away with him! Crucify him!”“ What? Crucify your king?” Pilate asked.“ We have no king but Caesar,” the leading priests shouted back.

And many will turn away from me and betray and hate each other.

I will strip her naked in public, while all her lovers look on. No one will be able to rescue her from my hands.

So what makes us think we can escape if we ignore this great salvation that was first announced by the Lord Jesus himself and then delivered to us by those who heard him speak?

Soon Gomer became pregnant again and gave birth to a daughter. And the Lord said to Hosea,“ Name your daughter Lo ruhamah—‘ Not loved’— for I will no longer show love to the people of Israel or forgive them.

You will eat but never have enough. Your hunger pangs and emptiness will remain. And though you try to save your money, it will come to nothing in the end. You will save a little, but I will give it to those who conquer you.

“ A brother will betray his brother to death, a father will betray his own child, and children will rebel against their parents and cause them to be killed.

Even those closest to you— your parents, brothers, relatives, and friends— will betray you. They will even kill some of you.And everyone will hate you because you are my followers.

Shouldn’t you have mercy on your fellow servant, just as I had mercy on you?’Then the angry king sent the man to prison to be tortured until he had paid his entire debt.“ That’s what my heavenly Father will do to you if you refuse to forgive your brothers and sisters from your heart.”

as they try to keep us from preaching the Good News of salvation to the Gentiles. By doing this, they continue to pile up their sins. But the anger of God has caught up with them at last.

Before long your enemies will build ramparts against your walls and encircle you and close in on you from every side.They will crush you into the ground, and your children with you. Your enemies will not leave a single stone in place, because you did not recognize it when God visited you.”

There will be no mercy for those who have not shown mercy to others. But if you have been merciful, God will be merciful when he judges you.

People will oppress each other— man against man, neighbor against neighbor. Young people will insult their elders, and vulgar people will sneer at the honorable.

Therefore, I will respond in fury. I will neither pity nor spare them. And though they cry for mercy, I will not listen.”

The buyers slaughter their sheep without remorse. The sellers say,‘ Praise the Lord! Now I’m rich!’ Even the shepherds have no compassion for them.

For those will be days of God’s vengeance, and the prophetic words of the Scriptures will be fulfilled.How terrible it will be for pregnant women and for nursing mothers in those days. For there will be disaster in the land and great anger against this people.They will be killed by the sword or sent away as captives to all the nations of the world. And Jerusalem will be trampled down by the Gentiles until the period of the Gentiles comes to an end.

His preaching will turn the hearts of fathers to their children, and the hearts of children to their fathers. Otherwise I will come and strike the land with a curse.”

The people are like the dead branches of a tree, broken off and used for kindling beneath the cooking pots. Israel is a foolish and stupid nation, for its people have turned away from God. Therefore, the one who made them will show them no pity or mercy.

On that day they will be terrified, stricken by the Lord with great panic. They will fight their neighbors hand to hand.

Then I took my other staff, Union, and cut it in two, showing that the bond of unity between Judah and Israel was broken.
