1 “So the Lord carried out the threat he had made against us and against our judges, our kings, our rulers, and the people of Israel and Judah.
2 Nowhere else on earth have such things happened as happened in Jerusalem when the Lord carried out the threats written in the Law of Moses.
3 Things were so bad that we even ate the flesh of our own sons and daughters.
4 The Lord scattered our people, handing us over to the control of all the nations around us, and they looked on us with reproach and horror.
