11 Out of you has come a schemer of evil against Adonai,
    a counselor of Belial.[a]
12 Thus said Adonai:
Though they are strong and numerous,

I will afflict you no more.
13 I will now break his yoke from you,
    and tear apart your bonds.

Although I have afflicted you, Judah,

    and tear your shackles away.”(D)
