² He lived wickedly before the LORD even as Jehoiakim did. ³ Wherefore the LORD was angry at Jerusalem and Judah, so long till he had cast them out of his presence.

¹² The chiefest that is among you, shall lade his shoulders in the dark, and get him away. He shall break down the wall, to carry stuff therethrough: he shall cover his face, that he see not the ground with his eyes. ¹³ My line will I spread out upon him, and catch him in my net, and carry him to Babylon, in the land of the Chaldeans: which he shall not see, and yet shall he die there. ¹⁴ As for all his helpers, and all his Hosts that be about him, I will scatter them toward all the winds, and draw out a sword after them. ¹⁵ So when I have scattered them among the Heathen, and strawed them in the lands, they shall know that I am the LORD. ¹⁶ But, I will leave a little number of them from the sword, hunger and pestilence: to tell all their abominations among the Heathen, where they come: that they may know how that I am the LORD.'"

¹¹ Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me saying, ¹² "Speak to that froward household, 'Know ye not, what these things do signify?' Tell them, 'Behold, the king of Babylon came to Jerusalem, and took the king and his princes, and led them to Babylon. ¹³ He took of the king's seed, and made a covenant with him, and took an oath of him: The princes of the land toke he with him also, ¹⁴ that the land might be held in subjection, and not to rebel, but keep the covenant, and fulfill it. ¹⁵ But he fell from him, and sent his Ambassadors into Egypt that he might have horses and much people. Should that prosper? Should he be kept safe, that doth such things? Or should he escape, that breaketh his covenant? ¹⁶ As truly as I live, sayeth the LORD God, he shall die at Babylon: in the place where the king dwelleth, that made him king, whose oath he hath despised, and whose covenant he hath broken. ¹⁷ Neither shall Pharaoh, with his great host and multitude of people, maintain him in the war: when they cast up ditches, and set up bulwarks to destroy much people. ¹⁸ For seeing he hath despised the oath, and broken the covenant - whereas he yet gave his hand thereupon - and done all these things, he shall not escape. ¹⁹ Therefore thus sayeth the LORD God: As truly as I live, I will bring mine oath that he hath despised, and my covenant that he hath broken, upon his own head. ²⁰ I will cast my net about him, and catch him in my yarn. To Babylon will I carry him: there will I punish him, because of the great offense that he made me. ²¹ As for those that flee from him out of the host, they shall be slain with the sword. The residue shall be scattered toward all the winds: and ye shall know, that I the LORD have spoken it.
