Yet you say, “This word is false! For we are fat and very rich; not one of us is desolate. Our every doctrine is well accepted. For we are God’s elect, and our church is the... true church and only bride... How dare you say we are filthy and shall be torn in pieces! We will live forever and will never be a widow!”

Thus says The Lord: You are a widow already, very poor and desolate... A great number of starving people, and very desolate... A perverse people, who have made God in their own image.

Therefore, because you have eaten up My people and held My children captive,
So shall you eat the flesh of your own arm, in your captivity...
Every house of worship shall be torn down;
Every community, devastated...
Even as Shiloh.
