You shall not go unpunished, akfor I am summoning a sword against all the inhabitants of the earth, declares the Lord of hosts.’

9 ao“Woe to him who gets evil gain for his house,
apto aqset his nest on high,
to be safe from the reach of harm!
10You have devised shame for your house
arby cutting off many peoples;
you have forfeited your life.
