“‘In this place I will ruin[a] the plans(A) of Judah and Jerusalem. I will make them fall by the sword before their enemies,(B) at the hands of those who want to kill them, and I will give their carcasses(C) as food(D) to the birds and the wild animals. I will devastate this city and make it an object of horror and scorn;(E) all who pass by will be appalled(F) and will scoff because of all its wounds.(G) I will make them eat(H) the flesh of their sons and daughters, and they will eat one another’s flesh because their enemies(I) will press the siege so hard against them to destroy them.’
