(A)The Lord God has sworn by Himself,
The Lord God of hosts says:
“I abhor (B)the pride of Jacob,
And hate his palaces;
Therefore I will deliver up the city
And all that is in it.”

Then it shall come to pass, that if ten men remain in one house, they shall die. 10 And when [a]a relative of the dead, with one who will burn the bodies, picks up the [b]bodies to take them out of the house, he will say to one inside the house, “Are there any more with you?”

Then someone will say, “None.”

And he will say, (C)“Hold your tongue! (D)For we dare not mention the name of the Lord.”
