1 This is a message from the Lord about Israel:I am the Lord! I stretched out the heavens; I put the earth on its foundations and gave breath to humans.
2 I have decided that Jerusalem will become a bowl of wine that makes the neighbouring nations drunk. And when Jerusalem is attacked, Judah will also be attacked.
3 But I will turn Jerusalem into a heavy stone that crushes anyone who tries to lift it.When all nations on earth surround Jerusalem,
4 I will make every horse panic and every rider confused. But at the same time, I will watch over Judah.
