⁷ After that, declares the Lord, I will give Zedekiah^(A) king of Judah, his officials and the people in this city who survive the plague,^(B) sword and famine, into the hands of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon^(C) and to their enemies^(D) who want to kill them.^(E) He will put them to the sword;^(F) he will show them no mercy or pity or compassion.’^(G)

²⁷ So I stretched out my hand^(A) against you and reduced your territory; I gave you over^(B) to the greed of your enemies, the daughters of the Philistines,^(C) who were shocked by your lewd conduct.

²⁸ “For this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am about to deliver you into the hands^(A) of those you hate, to those you turned away from in disgust.
