⁸ I will make this city ^(A)desolate and a hissing; everyone who passes by it will be astonished and hiss because of all its plagues.

⁴ For thus says the Lord: ‘Behold, I will make you a terror to yourself and to all your friends; and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, and your eyes shall see it. I will ^(A)give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall carry them captive to Babylon and slay them with the sword.

²⁰ Then the cities that are inhabited shall be laid waste, and the land shall become desolate; and you shall know that I am the Lord.” ’ ”
