7I will 1makeH1238 voidH1238 the counselH6098 of JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389 in thisH2088 placeH4725, and 2I will cause them to fallH5307 by the swordH2719 beforeH6440 their enemiesH340 and by the handH3027 of those who seekH1245 their lifeH5315; and I will giveH5414 over their 3carcassesH5038 as foodH3978 for the birdsH5775 of the skyH8064 and the beastsH929 of the earthH776. 8I will also makeH7760 thisH2088 cityH5892 a 4desolationH8047 and an object of hissingH8322; 5everyoneH3605 who passesH5674 by it will be astonishedH8074 and hissH8319 becauseH5921 of allH3605 its 6disastersH4347. 9I will make them 7eatH398 the fleshH1320 of their sonsH1121 and the fleshH1320 of their daughtersH1323, and they will eatH398 oneH376 another’sH7453 fleshH1320 in the siegeH4692 and in the distressH4689 with whichH834 their enemiesH340 and those who seekH1245 their lifeH5315 will distressH6693 them.”’
10“Then you are to breakH7665 the 8jarH1228 in the sightH5869 of the menH376 who accompanyH1980H854 you 11and sayH559 to them, ‘ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068 of hostsH6635, “JustH3602 soH3602 will I 9breakH7665 thisH2088 peopleH5971 and thisH2088 cityH5892, evenH3512 as one breaksH7665 a potter’sH3335 vesselH3627, whichH834 cannotH3201H3808 againH5750 be repairedH7495; and they will 10buryH6912 in TophethH8612 11becauseH4480 thereH369 is noH369 other placeH4725 for burialH6912. 12ThisH3651 is howH3651 I will treatH6213 thisH2088 placeH4725 and its inhabitantsH3427,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068, “so as to makeH5414 thisH2088 cityH5892 like TophethH8612.
