Jeremiah 34:17-22

17“Therefore this is what the Lord says: ‘You have not obeyed Me in proclaiming 1release, each one to his brother and each to his neighbor. Behold, I am 2proclaiming a 3release to you,’ declares the Lord, ‘to the 4sword, to the plague, and to the famine; and I will make you a 5terror to all the kingdoms of the earth.

18I will give the people who have 6violated My covenant, who have not fulfilled the words of the covenant which they made before Me, when they 7cut the calf in two and passed between its parts--

19the 8officials of Judah and the officials of Jerusalem, the high officials and the priests, and all the people of the land who passed between the parts of the calf--

20I will hand them over to their enemies and to those who 9seek their lives. And their 10dead bodies will be food for the birds of the sky and the animals of the earth.

2111Zedekiah king of Judah and his officials I will also hand over to their enemies and to those who seek their lives, and to the army of the king of Babylon which has 12withdrawn from you.

22Behold, I am going to give a command,’ declares the Lord, ‘and I will bring them back to this city, and they will fight against it and 13take it and burn it with fire; and I will make the cities of Judah a 14desolation 15without inhabitant.’”
