20 In those days and in that time, declares the Lord, (A)iniquity shall be sought in Israel, and there shall be none, and sin in Judah, and none shall be found, for (B)I will pardon those whom I leave as a remnant.

21 “Go up against the land of Merathaim,[a]
    and against the inhabitants of Pekod.[b]
Kill, (C)and devote them to destruction,[c]
declares the Lord,
    and do all that I have commanded you.
22 (D)The noise of battle is in the land,
    and great destruction!
