1 Understand what I am telling you.The Master, the Lord of heaven’s armies,will take away everything Judah and Jerusalem need.He will take away all the food and water.
2 He will take away all the heroes and great soldiers.He will take away all the judges, prophets,people who do magic and elders.
3 He will take away the military leaders and government leaders.He will take away the counselors, the skilled craftsmen and those who try to tell the future.
