I will (A)empty out the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem to the point of destruction in this place, and (B)I will cause them to fall by the sword before their enemies and by the hand of those who seek their life; and I will give over their (C)carcasses as food for the birds of the sky and the beasts of the earth. I will also make this city an (D)object of horror and of hissing; (E)everyone who passes by it will be [a]horrified and hiss because of all its [b]slaughtering. I will make them (F)eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters, and they will eat one another’s flesh in the siege and in the distress with which their enemies and those who seek their life will distress them.”’
