The Lord has not sent you, yet you have persuaded this nation to trust in lies. 16 Therefore this is what the Lord says: ‘I am about to remove you from the face of the earth. This very year you are going to die, because you have preached rebellion against the Lord.’ ”

I have put everything, even the wild animals, under his control.’ ”

This year you shall die, because you have taught rebellion against the Lord.’ ”
