God's Discipline And Israel's Apostasy

¹⁰ “I sent a plague among you after the manner of Egypt;
I slew your young men by the sword along with your captured horses,
And I made the stench of your camp rise up in your nostrils;
Yet you have not returned to Me,” declares the Lord.
¹¹ “I overthrew you, as God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah,
And you were like a firebrand snatched from a blaze;

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