For the LORD of hosts (Good News Translation “the LORD Almighty”), see 2.19.

Die Bibel im heutigen Deutsch combines verses 7 and 8:

• “But you have not obeyed me,” says the Lord of the world. “To the contrary: you have made me angry with your gods, and so you have brought misfortune upon yourselves.”
