7 Therefore now shall they go captive with the first that go captive, and [a]the sorrow of them that stretched themselves, is at hand.
8 [b]The Lord God hath sworn by himself, saith the Lord God of hosts, I abhor [c]the excellency of Jacob, and hate his palaces: therefore will I deliver up the city with all that is therein.
9 And if there remain ten men in one house, they shall die.
