10 Then I said, “Ah, Lord God!
(A)Surely You have greatly deceived this people and Jerusalem,
(B)Saying, ‘You shall have peace,’
Whereas the sword reaches to the [a]heart.”

11 At that time it will be said
To this people and to Jerusalem,
(C)“A dry wind of the desolate heights blows in the wilderness
Toward the daughter of My people—
Not to fan or to cleanse—
12 A wind too strong for these will come for Me;
Now (D)I will also speak judgment against them.”
