“I have eliminated nations;
Their corner towers are deserted.
I have (A)laid waste their streets,
With no one passing by;

You will (D)accept discipline.’
So her dwelling will (E)not be eliminated
In accordance with everything that I have stipulated for her.
Instead, they were eager to (F)corrupt all their deeds.

“Therefore (G)wait for Me,” declares the Lord,
“For the day when I rise up as a witness.

To assemble kingdoms,
To pour out on them My indignation,
All My burning anger;
For (I)all the earth will be devoured
By the fire of My zeal.
