⁸ While they were ·killing the people [striking them down], I was left alone. I bowed facedown on the ground and I cried out, “Oh, Lord God! Will you destroy ·everyone left alive in [the whole remnant of] Israel when you ·turn loose your anger [pour out your wrath] on Jerusalem?”

⁹ Then he said to me, “The sin of the ·people [^Lhouse] of Israel and Judah is very great. The land is filled with people who murder, and the city is full of ·people who are not fair [injustice; corruption]. The people say, ‘The Lord has ·left [abandoned; forsaken] the land, and the Lord does not see.’ ¹⁰ But ·I [^Lmy eye] will have no pity, nor will I ·show mercy [spare]. I will bring their ·evil [deeds; ^Lway] back on their heads.”
