So you will not be able to stand before your enemies.^{(E) 38} You will perish^(F) among the nations; the land of your enemies will devour you.^(G)

⁴ ‘This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: I am about to turn^(A) against you the weapons of war that are in your hands, which you are using to fight the king of Babylon and the Babylonians^[a] who are outside the wall besieging^(B) you. And I will gather them inside this city.
