False Prophets and Their Doom

The chapter that proclaims the coming of the The Lord Our Righteousness is also the chapter that includes some of the harshest language against false prophets anywhere in the Old Testament. The persevering people of God can be encouraged because the Lord will roar against the enemies of His cause. Those false teachers who caused His people to go astray will be brought to account and they will receive the just reward of their evil deeds. The people of God can take comfort in the reality of the Gospel.
