29. Your prophets have given false visions,and your fortune-tellers have told lies.The sword will fall on the necks of the wickedfor whom the day of final reckoning has come.
30. “Now return the sword to its sheath,for in your own country,the land of your birth,I will pass judgment upon you.
31. I will pour out my fury on youand blow on you with the fire of my anger.I will hand you over to cruel menwho are skilled in destruction.
32. You will be fuel for the fire,and your blood will be spilled in your own land.You will be utterly wiped out,your memory lost to history,for I, the lord, have spoken!”
