7. Let them be scattered abroad among the heathen, let their names be blotted out of the earth: for they have despised my covenant.
8. Woe to you, Assur, you that hide the unrighteous with you! O you wicked nation, remember what I did to Sodom and Gomorrah;
9. whose land lies in clods of pitch and heaps of ashes: even so also will I do to them that have not hearkened to me, says the Lord Almighty.
10. Thus says the Lord to Esdras, Tell my people that I will give them the kingdom of Jerusalem, which I would have given to Israel.
11. Their glory also will I take to me, and give these the everlasting tabernacles, which I had prepared for them.
12. They shall have the tree of life for an ointment of sweet savor; they shall neither labor, nor be weary.
13. Ask, and you⌃ shall receive: pray for few days to you, that they may be shortened: the kingdom is already prepared for you: watch.
14. Take heaven and earth to witness, take them to witness; for I have given up the evil, and created the good: for I live, says the Lord.
