# Connecting Statement:
|
|
|
|
Yahweh continues his message by telling us what the people of Judah will say at the time of their punishment.
|
|
|
|
# Why are we sitting here?
|
|
|
|
"We should not stay here."
|
|
|
|
# Come together; let us go to the fortified cities
|
|
|
|
The "fortified cities" were cities with high walls and strong defenses.
|
|
|
|
# we will become silent there in death
|
|
|
|
"let us die there" or "let us wait for our enemies to kill us there"
|
|
|
|
# For Yahweh our God will silence us
|
|
|
|
"because Yahweh our God has condemned us to die"
|
|
|
|
# He will make us drink poison
|
|
|
|
This refers to Yahweh's judgment on his people. |
