Jeremiah 32:22-24

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²² And hast given them this land which thou didst swear to their fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey.

²³ And they came in, and possessed it: but they obeyed not thy voice, and they walked not in thy law: and they did not any of those things that thou didst command them to do, and all these evils are come upon them.

²⁴ Behold works are built up against the city to take it: and the city is given into the hands of the Chaldeans, who fight against it, by the sword, and the famine, and the pestilence: and what thou hast spoken, is all come to pass, as thou thyself seest.
