"Thush3541 saysh559 the Lordh136  1GODh3068, `Thish384 is  aJerusalemh3389; I have seth7760 her at the  bcenterh8432 of the nationsh1471, with landsh776 aroundh5439 her.

6

`But she has rebelledh4784 againsth854 My ordinancesh4941 moreh4480 wickedlyh7564 thanh4480 the nationsh1471 and againsth854 My statutesh2708  amoreh4480 thanh4480 the landsh776 whichh834 surroundh5439 her; for they have  brejectedh3988a My ordinancesh4941 and have not walkedh1980  1in My statutesh2708.'

7

"Thereforeh3651, thush3541 saysh559 the Lordh136 GODh3068, `Becauseh3282 you have  amoreh4480 turmoilh2001a thanh4480 the nationsh1471 whichh834 surroundh5439 you and have not walkedh1980 in My statutesh2708, norh3808 observedh6213a My ordinancesh4941, norh3808 observedh6213a the ordinancesh4941 of the nationsh1471 whichh834 surroundh5439 you,'

8

thereforeh3651, thush3541 saysh559 the Lordh136 GODh3068, `Beholdh2009, I, evenh1571 I, am  aagainsth5921 you, and I will  bexecuteh6213a judgmentsh4941 amongh8432 you in the sighth5869 of the nationsh1471.

9

`And becauseh3282 of allh3605 your abominationsh8441, I will doh6213a among you whath834 I have  anot doneh6213a, and the likeh3644 of whichh834 I will neverh3808 doh6213a againh5750.

10

`Thereforeh3651,  afathersh1 will eath398 their sonsh1121 amongh8432 you, and sonsh1121 will eath398 their fathersh1; for I will executeh6213a judgmentsh8201 on you and  bscatterh2219 allh3605 your remnanth7611 to everyh3605 windh7307.

11

`Soh3651 as I liveh2416a,' declaresh5002 the Lordh136 GODh3068, `surelyh518h3808, becauseh3282 you have  adefiledh2930 My sanctuaryh4720 with allh3605 your  bdetestableh8251 idolsh8251 and with allh3605 your abominationsh8441, therefore I will alsoh1571 withdrawh1639, and My eyeh5869 will haveh2347 noh3808 pityh2347 and I will not spareh2550.

12

`Oneh7992 thirdh7992 of you will dieh4191 by  aplagueh1698 or be consumedh3615 by famineh7458 amongh8432 you, oneh7992 thirdh7992 will fallh5307 by the swordh2719 aroundh5439 you, and oneh7992 thirdh7992 I will  bscatterh2219 to everyh3605 windh7307, and I will  cunsheatheh7385a a swordh2719 behindh310 them.

13

`Thus My angerh639 will be spenth3615 and I will  1satisfyh5117 My wrathh2534 on them, and I will be  2 aappeasedh5162; then they will knowh3045 that I, the LORDh3068, have  bspokenh1696 in My zealh7068 when I have spenth3615 My wrathh2534 upon them.

14

`Moreover, I will makeh5414 you a desolationh2723 and a  areproachh2781 among the nationsh1471 whichh834 surroundh5439 you, in the sighth5869 of allh3605 who passh5674a by.

15

`So  1it will be a reproachh2781, a revilingh1422, a  awarningh4148 and an objecth4923 of horrorh4923 to the nationsh1471 whoh834 surroundh5439 you when I  bexecuteh6213a judgmentsh8201 against you in angerh639, wrathh2534 and ragingh2534 rebukesh8433b. I, the LORDh3068, have spokenh1696.

16

`When I sendh7971 against them the  1deadlyh7451a arrowsh2671 of famineh7458 whichh834  2were for the destructionh7843 of those whomh834 I will sendh7971 to destroyh7843 you, then I will also intensifyh3254 the famineh7458 upon you and breakh7665 the staffh4294 of breadh3899.

17

`Moreover,  aI will sendh7971 on you famineh7458 and wildh7451a beastsh2421b, and they will bereaveh7921 you of childrenh7921;  bplagueh1698 and bloodshedh1818 also will passh5674a through you, and I will bringh935 the swordh2719 on you. I, the LORDh3068, have spokenh1696.' "
