According to their ways and their deeds I judged them.When they came to the nations where they went, they profaned My holy name, because it was said of them,‘ These are the people of the Lord, yet they have left His land.’

He has torn down without sparing, And He has helped the enemy to rejoice over you; He has exalted the might of your adversaries.
