9 Shall I not punish them for these things?” declares the Lord,
“And (A)shall I not avenge Myself
On a nation such as this?
10 “Go up through her vine rows and destroy,
But do not execute a complete destruction;
Strip away her branches,
For they are not the Lord’s.

Have dealt very treacherously with Me,” declares the Lord.

So she [b]keeps fresh her wickedness.
(E)Violence and destruction are heard in her;
(F)Sickness and wounds are constantly before Me.
