14 I will scatter toward every wind all who are around him to help him, and all his bands. I will draw out the sword after them.
15 “‘They will know that I am the Lord when I disperse them among the nations, and scatter them through the countries.
16 But I will leave a few men of them from the sword, from the famine, and from the pestilence, that they may declare all their abominations among the nations where they come. Then they will know that I am the Lord.’”
17 Moreover the Lord’s word came to me, saying,
18 “Son of man, eat your bread with quaking, and drink your water with trembling and with fearfulness.
19 Tell the people of the land, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD concerning the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and Eretz-Israel: “They will eat their bread with fearfulness, and drink their water in dismay, that her land may be desolate, and all that is therein, because of the violence of all those who dwell therein.
20 The cities that are inhabited will be laid waste, and the land will be a desolation. Then you will know that I am the Lord.”’”
