7. Your people will fall slain among you, and you will know that I am the Lord.
8. “ ‘But I will spare some, for some of you will escape the sword when you are scattered among the lands and nations.
9. Then in the nations where they have been carried captive, those who escape will remember me—how I have been grieved by their adulterous hearts, which have turned away from me, and by their eyes, which have lusted after their idols. They will loathe themselves for the evil they have done and for all their detestable practices.
10. And they will know that I am the Lord; I did not threaten in vain to bring this calamity on them.
11. “ ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Strike your hands together and stamp your feet and cry out “Alas!” because of all the wicked and detestable practices of the people of Israel, for they will fall by the sword, famine and plague.
