    he will rouse himself as in the Valley of Gibeon^(B)—
to do his work,^(C) his strange work,
    and perform his task, his alien task.
²² Now stop your mocking,^(D)
    or your chains will become heavier;
the Lord, the Lord Almighty, has told me
    of the destruction decreed^(E) against the whole land.^(F)

⁷ both your sins^(A) and the sins of your ancestors,”^(B)
    says the Lord.
“Because they burned sacrifices on the mountains
    and defied me on the hills,^(C)
I will measure into their laps
    the full payment^(D) for their former deeds.”

⁴ so I also will choose harsh treatment for them
    and will bring on them what they dread.^(A)
For when I called, no one answered,^(B)
    when I spoke, no one listened.
They did evil^(C) in my sight
    and chose what displeases me.”^(D)

²⁹ Should I not punish them for this?”
    declares the Lord.
“Should I not avenge^(A) myself
    on such a nation as this?
