“Yahweh says: ‘Stand in the court of Yahweh’s house, and speak to all the cities of Judah, which come to worship in Yahweh’s house, all the words that I command you to speak to them. Don’t omit a word.

I tell you, no, but unless you repent, you will all perish in the same way.

I tell you, no, but, unless you repent, you will all perish in the same way.”
