10     I sent plagues on you like the plagues I unleashed upon Egypt.
        I slaughtered your young men in battle,
    Stole away your horses, and sent the stench
        of those bodies rotting in your camps reeking into your nostrils;
    And still you did not return to Me.

11     I destroyed some of you as I destroyed the ancient cities of Sodom and Gomorrah,
        and those who survived were like a smoking branch plucked from the fire;
    And still you did not return to Me.

12     So this is what I am going to do to you, Israel.
        Because of what I am planning, prepare to meet your God, people of Israel!

10 “I sent plagues(A) among you
    as I did to Egypt.(B)

I filled your nostrils with the stench(D) of your camps,
    yet you have not returned to me,”(E)
declares the Lord.(F)

11 “I overthrew some of you
    as I overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.(G)
You were like a burning stick(H) snatched from the fire,
    yet you have not returned to me,”
declares the Lord.(I)

12 “Therefore this is what I will do to you, Israel,
    and because I will do this to you, Israel,
    prepare to meet your God.”
