20 “But (A)I will remove far from you (B)the northern army,
And will drive him away into a barren and desolate land,
With his face toward the eastern sea
And his back (C)toward the western sea;
His stench will come up,
And his foul odor will rise,
Because he has done [a]monstrous things.”

    and its western ranks in the Mediterranean Sea.
And its stench(B) will go up;
    its smell will rise.”

Surely he has done great things!

Your young men I killed with a sword,
Along with your captive horses;
I made the stench of your camps come up into your nostrils;
Yet you have not returned to Me,”
Says the Lord.
