Shall I not visit for these things? saith the LORD: and shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?

8 They were as fed horses in the morning: every one neighed after his neighbour’s wife.
9 Shall I not visit for these things? saith the LORD: and shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?

11 For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against me, saith the LORD.
