7 When the Lord saw that they humbled themselves, this word of the Lord came to Shemaiah: “Since they have humbled themselves, I will not destroy them but will soon give them deliverance.(C) My wrath(D) will not be poured out on Jerusalem through Shishak. 8 They will, however, become subject(E) to him, so that they may learn the difference between serving me and serving the kings of other lands.”
