10 “I sent a (A)pestilence among you after the manner of Egypt;
I (B)killed your choice men by the sword along with your (C)captured horses,
And I made the (D)stench of your camp rise up even in your nostrils;
Yet you have (E)not returned to Me,” declares Yahweh.
11 “I overthrew you as (F)God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah,

Because I will do this to you,
Prepare to (I)meet your God, O Israel.”
