8 The Sovereign Lord has sworn by himself—the Lord God Almighty declares:

“I abhor the pride of Jacob

and detest his fortresses;

I will deliver up the city

and everything in it.”

I abhor the excellency of Jacob, and hate his palaces:

Therefore will I deliver up the city with all that is therein.

8 The Sovereign Lord has sworn by his own name, and this is what he, the Lord God of Heaven’s Armies, says:

“I despise the arrogance of Israel,

and I hate their fortresses.

I will give this city

and everything in it to their enemies.”

8 The Lord God made this promise; the Lord God All-Powerful says:

“I hate the pride of the Israelites,

and I hate their strong buildings,

so I will let the enemy take the city

and everything in it.”

I am disgusted with Jacob’s pride, 

and I hate his palaces. 

So I will hand over the city and everything in it.

I loathe Jacob’s pride

and hate his citadels,

so I will hand over the city and everything in it.

and everything in it over to their enemies.”

8 The Lord God has sworn by Himself, the Lord God of hosts has declared:
