So I have also made a choice.
    I will make them suffer greatly.
    I will bring on them what they are afraid of.
When I called out to them, no one answered me.
    When I spoke to them, no one listened.
They did what is evil in my sight.
    They chose to do what displeases me.”

Listen to the word of the Lord.
    Listen, you who tremble with fear when he speaks. He says,
“Some of your own people hate you.
    They turn their backs on you because you are faithful to me.
    They make fun of you and say,
‘Let the Lord show his glory by saving you.
    Then we can see how happy you are.’
    But they will be put to shame.
Hear the loud sounds coming from the city!
    Listen to the noise coming from the temple!
I am the one causing it.
    I am paying back my enemies for everything they have done.
