2 And it shall be, if they say to you, ‘Where should we go?’ then you shall tell them, ‘Thus says the Lord:“Such as are for death, to death;And such as are for the sword, to the sword;And such as are for the famine, to the famine;And such as are for the captivity, to the captivity.” ’
3 “And I will appoint over them four forms of destruction,” says the Lord: “the sword to slay, the dogs to drag, the birds of the heavens and the beasts of the earth to devour and destroy.
4 I will hand them over to trouble, to all kingdoms of the earth, because of Manasseh the son of Hezekiah, king of Judah, for what he did in Jerusalem.
5 “For who will have pity on you, O Jerusalem?Or who will bemoan you?Or who will turn aside to ask how you are doing?
6 You have forsaken Me,” says the Lord,“You have gone backward.Therefore I will stretch out My hand against you and destroy you;I am weary of relenting!
7 And I will winnow them with a winnowing fan in the gates of the land;I will bereave them of children;I will destroy My people,Since they do not return from their ways.
8 Their widows will be increased to Me more than the sand of the seas;I will bring against them,Against the mother of the young men,A plunderer at noonday;I will cause anguish and terror to fall on them suddenly.
