2 Kings 21:12-14
EasyEnglish Bible
12 So the Lord, Israel's God, says this: “I will cause great trouble to happen in Jerusalem and in all the kingdom of Judah. Everyone who hears the news about it will be very surprised. 13 I will judge Jerusalem and I will punish the people, as I punished Samaria and the family of King Ahab.[a] I will remove the people from Jerusalem, like someone who washes the dirt from both sides of a plate.
14 I will no longer help those of my own people who still remain. I will put them under the power of their enemies. All their enemies will rob them. They will take all their valuable things for themselves.

They will be looted and plundered by all their enemies;
