12 therefore thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Behold, I am bringing upon Jerusalem and Judah such disaster ^{▼▼Or evil} that the ears of everyone who hears of it ^bwill tingle. 13 ^cAnd I will stretch over Jerusalem the measuring line of Samaria, and the plumb line of the house of Ahab, and I will wipe Jerusalem as one wipes a dish, wiping it and turning it upside down. 14 And I will forsake the remnant of my heritage and give them into the hand of their enemies, and they shall become a prey and a spoil to all their enemies, 15 because they have done what is evil in my sight and have provoked me to anger, since the day their fathers came out of Egypt, even to this day.”

Evil and Oppression

1 Behold, ^rthe Lord’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save,
or his ear dull, that it cannot hear;
2 ^sbut your iniquities have made a separation
between you and your God,
and your sins have hidden his face from you
so that he does not hear.
