And that the whole land thereof is brimstone, and salt, and burning, that it is not sown, nor beareth, nor any grass groweth therein, like the overthrow of Sodom, and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim, which the LORD overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath:
He shall not see the rivers, the floods, the brooks of honey and butter.
Whose house I have made the wilderness, and the barren land his dwellings.
For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf fadeth, and as a garden that hath no water.
Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite, and his seed: he shall not have a man to dwell among this people; neither shall he behold the good that I will do for my people, saith the LORD; because he hath taught rebellion against the LORD.
Flee, save your lives, and be like the heath in the wilderness.
