^12 (A)When they fast, I will not hear their cry; and ^(B)when they offer burnt offering and grain offering, I will not accept them. But ^(C)I will consume them by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence.”

² And it shall be, if they say to you, ‘Where should we go?’ then you shall tell them, ‘Thus says the Lord:

¹⁰ And I will send the sword, the famine, and the pestilence among them, till they are ^[a]consumed from the land that I gave to them and their fathers.’ ”

^12 (A)One-third of you shall die of the pestilence, and be consumed with famine in your midst; and one-third shall fall by the sword all around you; and ^(B)I will scatter another third to all the winds, and I will draw out a sword after ^(C)them.

¹⁷ So I will send against you famine and ^(A)wild beasts, and they will bereave you. ^(B)Pestilence and blood shall pass through you, and I will bring the sword against you. I, the Lord, have spoken.’ ”

²¹ For thus says the Lord God: “How much more it shall be when ^(A)I send My four ^[a]severe judgments on Jerusalem—the sword and famine and wild beasts and pestilence—to cut off man and beast from it?

^9 (A)“Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake.
