15 In a short time I will call all the people in the northern kingdoms.”
    This is what the Lord said.

“The kings of those countries will come
    and set up their thrones near the gates of Jerusalem.
They will attack the city walls of Jerusalem.
    They will attack all the cities in Judah.
16 And I will announce judgment against my people,
    because they are evil and have turned away from me.

Tell them everything that I tell you to say.
    Don’t be afraid of the people.
If you are afraid of them,
    I will give you good reason to be afraid of them.
