\v 4 I, Yahweh, make this promise to you: Your altars will be destroyed, and the places where you worship idols will all be broken into pieces. I, Yahweh, promise that I will be sure that the Israelite people will be put to death where they worshiped their idols.

\v 1 Yahweh gave me another message. He said,

You should certainly take care of my sheep.
