* Then the LORD said unto me , Though Moses and Samuel stood before me , [yet ] my will [would ] not [be ] toward this people : cast [them ] out of my sight , and let them go forth . * And it shall come to pass , if they say unto thee , Where shall we go forth ? then thou shalt tell them , Thus hath the LORD said : Such as [are ] for death , to death ; and such as [are ] for the sword , to the sword ; and such as [are ] for the famine , to the famine ; and such as [are ] for the captivity , to the captivity . * And I will visit over them four kinds [of evil ], saith the LORD : the sword to slay , and the dogs to tear , and the fowls of the heaven and the beasts of the earth to devour and destroy . * And I will give them over to be sifted by all the kingdoms of the earth because of Manasseh , the son of Hezekiah king of Judah , for [that ] which he did in Jerusalem . * For who shall have pity upon thee , O Jerusalem ? or who shall bemoan thee ? or who is to come to ask regarding thy peace ? * Thou hast forsaken me , saith the LORD ; thou art gone backward : therefore , I stretched out my hand over thee and cast thee away ; I am tired of repenting . * And I fanned them with a fan unto the gates of the land ; I bereaved [them ] of children , I wasted my people ; they did not turn from their ways . * Their widows are multiplied unto me more than the sand of the sea : I have brought upon them a destroyer at noonday against the young ; I have caused [him ] to fall upon her suddenly , and terrors upon the city . * She that has borne seven languishes ; her soul is filled with sorrow ; her sun is gone down while [it was ] yet day ; she has been ashamed and confounded ; and the residue of them I will deliver to the sword before their enemies , saith the LORD . * Woe is me , my mother , that thou hast borne me a man of strife and a man of contention to the whole earth ! I have neither lent on usury , nor men have lent to me on usury ; [yet ] every one of them curses me . * The LORD said , Verily it shall be well with thy remnant ; verily I will cause the enemy to entreat thee [well ] in the time of evil and in the time of affliction . * Shall iron break the iron from the place of the north [wind ] and the bronze ? * Thy riches and thy treasures I will give to the spoil without price , and [that ] for all thy sins , even in all thy borders . * And I will make [thee ] to serve thine enemies in a land [which ] thou dost not know ; for a fire is kindled in my anger , [which ] shall burn upon you . * O LORD , thou knowest : remember me and visit me and revenge me of my enemies ; do not take me away in the prolongation of thy anger , know that for thy sake I have suffered rebuke . * Thy words were found , and I ate them ; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of my heart : for thy name was called upon me , O LORD God of the hosts . * I did not sit in the assembly of the mockers , nor did I become puffed up by reason of thy prophecy ; I sat alone because thou hast filled me with indignation . * Why was my pain perpetual and my wound incurable , [which ] refuses to be healed ? Wilt thou be altogether unto me as a liar [and as ] waters [that ] fail ? * Therefore thus hath the LORD said , If thou wilt return , then I will bring thee again , [and ] thou shalt stand before me ; and if thou wilt take forth the precious from the vile , thou shalt be as my mouth ; let them return unto thee , but return not thou unto them . * And I will give thee unto this people as a fenced brazen wall , and they shall fight against thee but they shall not prevail against thee : for I [am ] with thee to keep thee and to defend thee , said the LORD . * And I will deliver thee out of the hand of the wicked , and I will ransom thee out of the hand of the strong .:
