10. “I sent a plague on you like the one I sent on Egypt. I killed your young men in battle and took your horses away. I filled your nostrils with the stink of dead bodies in your camps. Still you did not come back to me.
11. “I destroyed some of you as I destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah. Those of you who survived were like a burning stick saved from a fire. Still you did not come back to me,” says the Lord.
12. “So then, people of Israel, I am going to punish you. And because I am going to do this, get ready to face my judgement!”
13. God is the one who made the mountainsand created the winds.He makes his thoughts known to people;he changes day into night.He walks on the heights of the earth.This is his name: the Lord God Almighty!
