But I will bring you out of it. You feared the sword, so I will bring the sword against you.” It is a declaration of Adonai Elohim. 9“I will bring you out of the midst of it, give you into the hands of strangers and execute judgments against you. 10You will fall by the sword. I will judge you at the border of Israel. So you will know that I am Adonai.
