Death will be chosen rather than life by all the residue that remain of this evil family, that remain in all the places where I have driven them,”
says the LORD of Armies.
“Moreover you shall tell them, ‘The LORD says: “‘Do men fall, and not rise up again?
Does one turn away, and not return?
Why then have the people of Jerusalem fallen back by a perpetual backsliding?
They cling to deceit.
They refuse to return.
