8 O Senhor DEUS jurou por si mesmo; o SENHOR Deus dos exércitos diz: Eu abomino a arrogância de Jacó, e odeio seus palácios; por isso entregarei a cidade e tudo que ela tem [ao inimigo] .

9 E acontecerá que, se dez homens restarem em uma casa, mesmo eles morrerão.

10 E quando seu parente vier para queimar [os cadáveres] ,para tirar os ossos de casa, então dirá ao que estiver dentro da da casa: Há ainda alguém contigo? E ele responderá: Não. Então aquele dirá: Cala-te! Não menciones o nome do SENHOR.
