Context Reading
9Why should you be like a scared man,as a mighty man who can’t save?Yet you, Yahweh, are in the middle of us,and we are called by your name.Don’t leave us. 10Yahweh says to this people:“Even so they have loved to wander.They have not restrained their feet.Therefore Yahweh does not accept them.Now he will remember their iniquity,and punish them for their sins.” 11Yahweh said to me, “Don’t pray for this people for their good. 12When they fast, I will not hear their cry; and when they offer burnt offering and meal offering, I will not accept them; but I will consume them by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence.” 13Then I said, “Ah, Lord Yahweh! Behold, the prophets tell them, ‘You will not see the sword, neither will you have famine; but I will give you assured peace in this place.’”
