4For thus saithH559 YhwhH3068, Behold, I will makeH5414 thee a terrorH4032 to thyself, and to all thy friendsH157: and they shall fallH5307 by the swordH2719 of their enemiesH341, and thine eyesH5869 shall beholdH7200 it: and I will giveH5414 all JudahH3063 into the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and he shall carry them captiveH1540 into BabylonH894, and shall slayH5221 them with the swordH2719. 5Moreover I will deliverH5414 all the strengthH2633 of this cityH5892, and all the laboursH3018 thereof, and all the precious thingsH3366 thereof, and all the treasuresH214 of the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063 will I giveH5414 into the handH3027 of their enemiesH341, which shall spoilH962 them, and takeH3947 them, and carryH935 them to BabylonH894. 6And thou, PashurH6583, and all that dwellH3427 in thine houseH1004 shall goH3212 into captivityH7628: and thou shalt comeH935 to BabylonH894, and there thou shalt dieH4191, and shalt be buriedH6912 there, thou, and all thy friendsH157, to whom thou hast prophesiedH5012 liesH8267.

7O YhwhH3068, thou hast deceivedH6601 me, and I was deceivedH6601: thou art strongerH2388 than I, and hast prevailedH3201: I am in derisionH7814 dailyH3117, every one mockethH3932 me.1
