But I protested, “Oh no, Lord GOD! Look, I don’t know how to speak since I am only a youth.”

Your own evil will discipline you;

your own apostasies will reprimand you.

Recognize[fn] how evil and bitter it is

for you to abandon the LORD your God

and to have no fear of me.

This is the declaration

of the Lord GOD of Armies.

Even if you wash with lye

and use a great amount of bleach,[fn]

the stain of your iniquity is still in front of me.

This is the Lord GOD’s declaration.

I said, “Oh no, Lord GOD, you have certainly deceived this people and Jerusalem, by announcing, ‘You will have peace,’ while a sword is at[fn] our throats.”

Therefore, this is what the Lord GOD says: “Look, my anger ​— ​my burning wrath ​— ​is about to be poured out on this place, on people and animals, on the tree of the field, and on the produce of the land. My wrath will burn and not be quenched.”

And I replied, “Oh no, Lord GOD! The prophets are telling them, ‘You won’t see sword or suffer famine. I will certainly give you lasting peace in this place.’ ”

“Oh, Lord GOD! You yourself made the heavens and earth by your great power and with your outstretched arm. Nothing is too difficult for you!

“Yet you, Lord GOD, have said to me, ‘Purchase the field and call in witnesses’ ​— ​even though the city has been handed over to the Chaldeans! ”

“Therefore, hear the word of the LORD, all you Judeans who live in the land of Egypt: ‘I have sworn by my great name, says the LORD, that my name will never again be invoked by anyone of Judah in all the land of Egypt, saying, “As the Lord GOD lives.”

That day belongs to the Lord, the GOD of Armies,

a day of vengeance to avenge himself

against his adversaries.

The sword will devour and be satisfied;

it will drink its fill of their blood,

because it will be a sacrifice to the Lord, the GOD of Armies,

in the northern land by the Euphrates River.

Look, I am about to bring terror on you —

this is the declaration of the Lord GOD of Armies —

from all those around you.

You will be banished, each person headlong,

with no one to gather up the fugitives.

The LORD opened his armory

and brought out his weapons of wrath,

because it is a task of the Lord GOD of Armies

in the land of the Chaldeans.

Look, I am against you, you arrogant one —

this is the declaration of

the Lord GOD of Armies —

for your day has come,

the time when I will punish you.
