Context Reading
8They were as fed horses roaming at large. Everyone neighed after his neighbor’s wife. 9Shouldn’t I punish them for these things?” says Yahweh. “Shouldn’t my soul be avenged on such a nation as this? 10“Go up on her walls, and destroy, but don’t make a full end. Take away her branches, for they are not Yahweh’s. 11For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against me,” says Yahweh. 12They have denied Yahweh, and said, “It is not he. Evil won’t come on us. We won’t see sword or famine.
