12 “Even Zedekiah will leave Jerusalem at night through a hole in the wall, taking only what he can carry with him. He will cover his face, and his eyes will not see the land he is leaving.
13 Then I will throw my net over him and capture him in my snare. I will bring him to Babylon, the land of the Babylonians, though he will never see it, and he will die there.
14 I will scatter his servants and warriors to the four winds and send the sword after them.
15 And when I scatter them among the nations, they will know that I am the lord.
16 But I will spare a few of them from death by war, famine, or disease, so they can confess all their detestable sins to their captors. Then they will know that I am the lord.”
17 Then this message came to me from the lord:
18 “Son of man, tremble as you eat your food. Shake with fear as you drink your water.
