17Thus saithH559 YhwhH3068 of ArmiesH6635; Behold, I will sendH7971 upon them the swordH2719, the famineH7458, and the pestilenceH1698, and will makeH5414 them like vileH8182 figsH8384, that cannot be eatenH398, they are so evilH7455. 18And I will persecuteH7291 themH310 with the swordH2719, with the famineH7458, and with the pestilenceH1698, and will deliverH5414 them to be removedH2113H2189 to all the kingdomsH4467 of the earthH776, to be a curseH423, and an astonishmentH8047, and an hissingH8322, and a reproachH2781, among all the nationsH1471 whither I have drivenH5080 them:1 19Because they have not hearkenedH8085 to my wordsH1697, saithH5002 YhwhH3068, which I sentH7971 unto them by my servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030, rising up earlyH7925 and sendingH7971 them; but ye would not hearH8085, saithH5002 YhwhH3068.
20HearH8085 ye therefore the wordH1697 of YhwhH3068, all ye of the captivityH1473, whom I have sentH7971 from JerusalemH3389 to BabylonH894: 21Thus saithH559 YhwhH3068 of ArmiesH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, of AhabH256 the sonH1121 of KolaiahH6964, and of ZedekiahH6667 the sonH1121 of MaaseiahH4641, which prophesyH5012 a lieH8267 unto you in my nameH8034; Behold, I will deliverH5414 them into the handH3027 of NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894; and he shall slayH5221 them before your eyesH5869;
