but you have done the evil things
you are capable of.

“Should I not punish them for these things?
This is the LORD’s declaration.
Should I not avenge myself
on such a nation as this?

“Is the LORD no longer in Zion,
her King not within her? ”
Why have they angered me
with their carved images,
with their worthless foreign idols?
Is there no balm in Gilead?
Is there no physician there?
So why has the healing of my dear people
not come about?
Should I not punish them for these things?
This is the LORD’s declaration.
Should I not avenge myself
on such a nation as this?
“But the one who boasts should boast in this:
that he understands and knows me —
that I am the LORD, showing faithful love,
justice, and righteousness on the earth,
for I delight in these things.
This is the LORD’s declaration.
Is my inheritance like a hyena[fn] to me?
Are birds of prey circling her?
Go, gather all the wild animals;
bring them to devour her.
Why are you like a helpless man,
like a warrior unable to save?
Yet you are among us, LORD,
and we bear your name.
Don’t leave us!

you atop the rocky plateau —
this is the LORD’s declaration —
you who say, “Who can come down against us?
Who can enter our hiding places? ”
“but he will die in the place where they deported him, never seeing this land again.”
“Now when these people or a prophet or a priest asks you, ‘What is the burden[fn] of the LORD? ’ you will respond to them, ‘What is the burden? I will throw you away! This is the LORD’s declaration.’
“But know for certain that if you put me to death, you will bring innocent blood on yourselves, on this city, and on its residents, for it is certain the LORD has sent me to speak all these things directly to you.”
