20You, therefore, hearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LordH3068, allH3605 you exilesH1473, whomH834 I have 1sentH7971 awayH7971 from JerusalemH3389 to BabylonH894.

21“ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, concerningH413 AhabH256 the sonH1121 of KolaiahH6964 and concerningH413 ZedekiahH6667 the sonH1121 of MaaseiahH4641, who are 2prophesyingH5012 to you falselyH8267 in My nameH8034, ‘BeholdH2009, I will deliverH5414 them into the handH3027 of NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and he will slayH5221 them before your eyesH5869. 22BecauseH4480 of them a 3curseH7045 will be 4usedH3947 by allH3605 the exilesH1546 from JudahH3063 whoH834 are in BabylonH894, sayingH559, “May the LordH3068 makeH7760 you like ZedekiahH6667 and like AhabH256, whomH834 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 5roastedH7033 in the fireH784, 23becauseH3282H834 they have 6actedH6213 foolishlyH5039 in IsraelH3478, and 7have committedH5003 adulteryH5003 with their neighbors’H7453 wivesH802 and have 8spokenH1696 wordsH1697 in My nameH8034 falselyH8267, whichH834 I did not commandH6680 them; and I am He who 9knowsH3045 and am a witnessH5707,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068.’”
