9And mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: I will bring upon thee according to thy ways; and thine abominations shall be in the midst of thee; and ye shall know that I, Jehovah, do smite. 10Behold, the day, behold, it cometh: thy doom is gone forth; the rod hath blossomed, pride hath budded.
