11 I am as angry with them as you are, Lord.
    I can no longer control my anger.’

The Lord replied,

‘Tell everyone how angry you are!
    Tell the children who play in the streets,
    Tell the young men who meet together.
Include all the men and their wives,
    as well as the old people, and those who are near to death.

    Other people will take their fields and their wives.
Yes, I will punish the people who live in this land.’

    Prophets and priests do that.
They love to deceive people.
