though the Lord has sent disaster against the city of Jerusalem.

and seize the houses they want.
They defraud people of their homes,
and deprive people of the land they have inherited.

“I will destroy your horses from your midst,
and smash your chariots.
7:4 The best of them is like a thorn;
the most godly among them are more dangerous than a row of thorn bushes.

your appointed time of punishment – is on the way,
and then you will experience confusion.
7:19 You will once again have mercy on us;
you will conquer our evil deeds;
you will hurl our sins into the depths of the sea.
