✦ MADE SIMPLE
I'm going to throw you out into the wilderness — you and all the fish from your rivers. You'll be left lying in the open fields with no one to collect your body or give you a proper burial. I'm leaving you as food for the wild animals and birds.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
When you mess with God's people, even the mightiest empires get left for the vultures.
