11. You were full of anger, jealousy and hatred toward my people. So I will punish you. When I judge you, they will know that I am the Lord. And that is just as sure as I am alive," announces the Lord and King.

12. " ' "You will know that I have heard all of the terrible things you said about those who live in the mountains of Israel. You made fun of them. You said, 'They have been destroyed. They've been handed over to us. Let's wipe them out.'

13. You bragged that you were better than I am. You spoke against me. You did not hold anything back. But I heard it." ' "

14. The Lord and King says, "The whole earth will be glad. But I will make your land empty.
