¹¹ The Lord said,
    “·I have [^LHave I not…?] ·saved [or intervened for] you for a good reason.
·I have made your enemies beg you [or Will I not bring the enemy against you…?]
    in times of ·disaster [harm; evil] and ·trouble [distress].
¹² ·No one can smash a piece of iron or bronze
    that comes from the north [^LCan iron break the iron of the north and the bronze?; ^Cthe iron is Babylon (1:13–15; 4:6) and the bronze is Jeremiah (15:20)].
¹³ Your wealth and treasures
    I will give ·to others free of charge [^Las plunder without price/charge],
because of all your [^Cthe people of Judah] sins
    throughout the country.
¹⁴ I will make you ·slaves to [serve] your enemies
    in a land you have never known.
My anger ·is [^Lkindles] like a hot fire,
    and it will burn against you.”
