And afterward, saith the LORD, I will deliver Zedekiah king of Judah, and his servants, and the people, and such as are left in this city from the pestilence, from the sword, and from the famine, into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those that seek their life: and he shall smite them with the edge of the sword; he shall not spare them, neither have pity, nor have mercy.
Og siden, lyder det fra HERREN, giver jeg Kong Zedekias af Juda og hans Tjenere og Folket, der levnes i denne By af Pesten, Sværdet og Hungeren, i Kong Nebukadrezar af Babels og i deres Fjenders Hånd, og i deres Hånd, som står dem efter Livet; de skal hugge dem ned med Sværdet, og jeg vil ikke ynkes over dem eller vise Skånsel eller Barmhjertighed!"
