A curse be on their anger, because it is so fierce, And on their fury, because it is so cruel. I will scatter them throughout the land of Israel. I will disperse them among its people.

Anger is cruel and destructive, but it is nothing compared to jealousy.

Bloodthirsty people hate anyone who's honest, but righteous people will protect the life of such a person.

But you can only see your selfish interests; you kill the innocent and violently oppress your people. The LORD has spoken.

Tell Jerusalem what the Sovereign LORD is saying to her: "You were born in the land of Canaan. Your father was an Amorite, and your mother was a Hittite.

When you were born, no one cut your umbilical cord or washed you or rubbed you with salt or wrapped you in cloths.

What a lioness your mother was! She raised her cubs among the fierce male lions.

She raised a cub and taught him to hunt; he learned to eat people.

So then---as surely as I, the Sovereign LORD, am the living God---death is your fate, and you cannot escape it. You are guilty of murder, and murder will follow you.

They poured out the blood of God's people and of the prophets, and so you have given them blood to drink. They are getting what they deserve!"

And I saw that the woman was drunk with the blood of God's people and the blood of those who were killed because they had been loyal to Jesus. When I saw her, I was completely amazed.
