Their abominations that they did by sacrificing to idols has +lead them to be killed by sword, pestilence, and famine. Every single altar, +high place, and oak tree where sacrifices were made will be defiled by human +blood. + +So great will be the slaughter that the entire Promised Land, from the +wilderness of Arabia in the south to Riblah in what is now northern Lebanon +will be made desolate and a waste land. So complete will be the destruction +that those who witness it will know that only the Lord could accomplish it. + +* * * + +Only Your goodness can judge sin without equivocation. Wash us clean so that we +may see Your holiness. Break our hearts of stone and renew them as hearts of +flesh. We are as sinful as Israel was, yet You loved them and You love us; be +our salvation in our time of need and we will live in the day of Your wrath.
