Then they will know that I am the Lord. “In this way, I will make known my holy name among my people of Israel. I will not let anyone bring shame on it. And the nations, too, will know that I am the Lord, the Holy One of Israel. 8That day of judgment will come, says the Sovereign Lord.

There will be enough to last them seven years!
