2 "Thus says the Lord , ' Stand in the court of the Lord'S house , and speak to all the cities of Judah who have come to worship in the Lord'S house all the words that I have commanded you to speak to them. Do not omit a word !
God's ambassadors must not seek to please men, or to save themselves from harm. See how God waits to be gracious. If they persisted in disobedience, it would ruin their city and temple. Can any thing else be expected? Those who will not be subject to the commands of God, make themselves subject to the curse of God.
