12 sThey made their hearts diamond-hard tlest they should hear the law and the words that the Lord of hosts had sent uby his Spirit through vthe former prophets. wTherefore great anger came from the Lord of hosts. 13 x“As I ▼▼Hebrew he
called, and they would not hear, zso they called, and I would not hear,” says the Lord of hosts, 14 aa“and I scattered them with a whirlwind among all abthe nations that they had not known. acThus the land they left was desolate, adso that no one went to and fro, aeand the pleasant land was made desolate.” John 3:19-20
