³ Now Zedekiah king of Judah had imprisoned him there, saying, “Why do you prophesy^(A) as you do? You say, ‘This is what the Lord says: I am about to give this city into the hands of the king of Babylon, and he will capture^(B) it.

⁵ He will take^(A) Zedekiah to Babylon, where he will remain until I deal with him,^(B) declares the Lord. If you fight against the Babylonians, you will not succeed.’”^(C)

⁴ therefore I am going to give you to the people of the East^(A) as a possession. They will set up their camps^(B) and pitch their tents among you; they will eat your fruit and drink your milk.^(C)

⁷ therefore I will stretch out my hand^(A) against you and give you as plunder^(B) to the nations. I will wipe you out from among the nations and exterminate you from the countries. I will destroy^(C) you, and you will know that I am the Lord.^(D)’”
