4:2 The sovereign Lord confirms this oath by his own holy character:
“Certainly the time is approaching
when you will be carried away in baskets,
every last one of you in fishermen’s pots.
4:5 Burn a thank offering of bread made with yeast!
Make a public display of your voluntary offerings!
For you love to do this, you Israelites.”
The sovereign Lord is speaking!
6:14 “Look! I am about to bring a nation against you, family of Israel.”
The Lord, the God who commands armies, is speaking.
“They will oppress you all the way from Lebo-Hamath to the Stream of the Arabah.”
