have rebelled against me.
And so an army will come
from far away
to surround Jerusalem
and the towns of Judah.
I, the Lord, have spoken.

your hearts will be in pain,
but it's your own fault
that you will be punished.”

proclaim concerning Jerusalem:
‘A besieging army is coming from a distant land,(A)
raising a war cry(B) against the cities of Judah.(C)

because she has rebelled(E) against me,’”
