[1] Then said the LORD unto me, Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, yet my mind could not be toward this people: cast them out of my sight, and let them go forth. [2] And it shall come to pass, if they say unto thee, Whither shall we go forth? then thou shalt tell the LORD; Such as are for death, and such as are for the sword, and such as are for the famine, and such as are for the captivity, [3] And I will appoint over them four kinds, saith the LORD: the sword to slay, and the dogs to tear, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the earth, to devour and destroy. [4] And I will cause into all kingdoms of the earth, because of Manasseh the son king of Judah, for that which he did in Jerusalem. [5] For who shall have pity upon thee, O Jerusalem? or who shall bemoan thee? or who shall go aside to ask how thou doest? [6] Thou hast forsaken me, saith the LORD, backward: therefore will I stretch out my hand against thee, and destroy thee; I am weary with repenting. [7] And I will fan them with a fan in the gates of the land; I will bereave them of children, I will destroy my people, since they return not from their ways. [8] Their widows are increased to me above the sand of the seas: I have brought upon them against the mother of the young men a spoiler at noonday: I have caused him to fall upon it suddenly, and terrors upon the city. [9] She that hath borne seven languisheth: she hath given up the ghost; her sun is gone down while it was yet day: she hath been ashamed and confounded: and the residue of them will I deliver to the sword before their enemies, saith the LORD. [10] Woe is me, my mother, that thou hast borne me a man of strife and a man of contention to the whole earth! I have neither lent on usury, yet every one of them doth curse me. [11] The LORD said, Verily it shall be well verily I will cause the enemy to entreat thee well in the time of evil and in the time of affliction. [12] Shall iron break the northern iron and the steel? [13] Thy substance and thy treasures will I give to the spoil without price, and that for all thy sins, even in all thy borders. [14] And I will make thee to pass with thine enemies into a land which thou knowest not: for a fire is kindled in mine anger, which shall burn upon you.
