1 Then said the LORD to me, even though Moses and Samuel stood before me, [yet] my mind [could] not [be] toward this people : cast [them] out of my sight , and let them go forward  2 And it will come to pass, if they say to you, Where will we go forward ? then you will tell them, So says the LORD ; Such as [are] for death , to death ; and such as [are] for the sword , to the sword ; and such as [are] for the famine , to the famine ; and such as [are] for the captivity , to the captivity  3 And I will appoint over them four kinds , says the LORD : the sword to kill , and the dogs to tear , and the fowls of the heaven , and the beasts of the earth , to devour and destroy  4 And I will cause them to be removed  into all kingdoms of the earth , because of Manasseh the son of Hezekiah king of Judah , for [that] which he did in Jerusalem  5 For who will have pity on you, O Jerusalem ? or who will bemoan you? or who will go aside to ask how you doest  6 you have abandoned me, says the LORD , you are gone backward : therefore will I stretch out my hand against you, and destroy you; I am weary with repenting  7 And I will fan them with a fan in the gates of the land ; I will bereave [them] of children, I will destroy my people , [since] they return not from their ways  8 Their widows are increased to me above the sand of the seas : I have brought on them against the mother of the young men a spoiler at noonday : I have caused [him] to fall on it suddenly , and terrors on the city  9 She that has borne seven languishes : she has given up the ghost ; her sun is gone down while [it was] yet day  : she has been ashamed and confounded : and the residue of them will I deliver to the sword before their enemies , says the LORD  10 Woe is me, my mother , that you have borne me a man of strife and a man of contention to the whole earth ! I have neither lent on usury , nor men have lent to me on usury ; [yet] every one of them does curse  11 The LORD said , Verily  it will be well with your remnant  ; truly I will cause the enemy to entreat you [well] in the time of evil and in the time of affliction  12 will iron break the northern iron and the steel  13 Your wealth and your treasures will I give to the spoil without price , and [that] for all your sins , even in all your borders  14 And I will make [you] to pass with your enemies into a land [which] you know not: for a fire is kindled in mine anger , [which] will burn  15 O LORD , you know : remember me, and visit me, and revenge me of my persecutors ; take me not away in your longsuffering  : know that for your sake I have suffered rebuke  16 your words were found , and I did eat them; and your word was to me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart : for I am called by your name , O LORD God of hosts  17 I sat not in the assembly of the mockers , nor rejoiced ; I sat alone because of your hand : for you have filled me with indignation  18 Why is my pain perpetual , and my wound incurable , [which] refuses to be healed ? will you be altogether to me as a liar , [and as] waters [that] fail  19 Therefore so says the LORD , If you return , then will I bring you again , [and] you will stand before me: and if you take forward the precious from the vile , you will be as my mouth : let them return to you; but return  20 And I will make you to this people a fenced brasen wall : and they will fight against you, but they will not prevail against you: for I [am] with you to save you and to deliver you, says the LORD  21 And I will deliver you out of the hand of the wicked , and I will redeem you out of the hand of the terrible
