The inspired record states: “This is what Jehovah of armies has said: ‘ I have been jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with great jealousy. With great indignation I am feeling indignant against the nations that are at ease; because I, for my part, felt indignant to only a little extent, but they, for their part, helped toward calamity. ’
Kāda bija Jehovas attieksme pret to? Iedvesmotajos Rakstos ir teikts: ” ” Tā saka tas Kungs Cebaots: Es esmu pilns lielas sirdsdedzes par Jeruzālemi un Ciānu, un Es esmu ļoti dusmīgs uz lepnajiem un bezrūpības pilnajiem pagāniem; Es biju tikai drusciņ dusmīgs, viņi turpretī no savas puses palīdzēja izraisīt jo lielāku ļaunumu. ”
