7 Should it be said, O house of Jacob, “Is the Spirit of the LORD impatient? Are these the things He does?” Do not My words bring good to him who walks uprightly?

9 You drive the women of My people from their pleasant homes. You take away My blessing from their children forever.
10 Arise and depart, for this is not your place of rest, because its defilement brings destruction— a grievous destruction!
