²⁹ For behold, ^(A)I begin to bring calamity on the city ^(B)which is called by My name, and should you be utterly unpunished? You shall not be unpunished, for ^(C)I will call for a sword on all the inhabitants of the earth,” says the Lord of hosts.’

^18 (A)O my God, incline Your ear and hear; open Your eyes ^(B)and see our desolations, and the city ^(C)which is called by Your name; for we do not present our supplications before You because of our righteous deeds, but because of Your great mercies.
