Destruction of Judah[a]

17 Gather up your belongings and depart from the land,
    you who are living under siege.
18 For thus says the Lord:
    This time I am determined to cast out
    the inhabitants of this land,
and I will inflict such distress on them
    that they will find it difficult to bear.
19 I face disaster because of my injuries.
    My wounds are incurable.
However, I thought, “This is my punishment,
    and somehow I must endure it.”
