¹⁷ The time will surely come when everything in your palace, and all that your predecessors have stored up until this day, will be carried off to Babylon.^(A) Nothing will be left, says the Lord.

¹² Therefore this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: I am going to bring such disaster^(A) on Jerusalem and Judah that the ears of everyone who hears of it will tingle.^{(B) 13} I will stretch out over Jerusalem the measuring line used against Samaria and the plumb line^(C) used against the house of Ahab. I will wipe^(D) out Jerusalem as one wipes a dish, wiping it and turning it upside down. ¹⁴ I will forsake^(E) the remnant^(F) of my inheritance and give them into the hands of enemies. They will be looted and plundered by all their enemies;

²⁷ So the Lord said, “I will remove^(A) Judah also from my presence^(B) as I removed Israel, and I will reject^(C) Jerusalem, the city I chose, and this temple, about which I said, ‘My Name shall be there.’^[a]”
