1
In the seventh month of that year, Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah and grandson of Elishama, a member of the royal family and one of the king's chief officers, went to Mizpah with ten men to see Governor Gedaliah. While they were all eating a meal together,
2
Ishmael and the ten men with him pulled out their swords and killed Gedaliah.
3
Ishmael also killed all the Israelites who were with Gedaliah at Mizpah and the Babylonian soldiers who happened to be there.
4
The next day, before anyone knew about Gedaliah's murder,
5
eighty men arrived from Shechem, Shiloh, and Samaria. They had shaved off their beards, torn their clothes, and gashed themselves. They were taking grain and incense to offer in the Temple.
6
So Ishmael went out from Mizpah to meet them, weeping as he went. When he came to them, he said, "Please come in to see Gedaliah."
7
As soon as they were inside the city, Ishmael and his men killed them and threw their bodies in a well.
8
But there were ten men in the group who said to Ishmael, "Please don't kill us! We have wheat, barley, olive oil, and honey hidden in the fields." So he spared them.
9
The well into which Ishmael threw the bodies of the men he had killed was the large one that King Asa had dug when he was being attacked by King Baasha of Israel. Ishmael filled the well with the bodies.
10
Then he made prisoners of the king's daughters and all the rest of the people in Mizpah, whom Nebuzaradan the commanding officer had placed under the care of Gedaliah. Ishmael took them prisoner and started off in the direction of the territory of Ammon.

2
King Zedekiah sinned against the LORD, just as King Jehoiakim had done.
3
The LORD became so angry with the people of Jerusalem and Judah that he banished them from his sight. Zedekiah rebelled against King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylonia,
4
and so Nebuchadnezzar came with all his army and attacked Jerusalem on the tenth day of the tenth month of the ninth year of Zedekiah's reign. They set up camp outside the city, built siege walls around it,
5
and kept it under siege until Zedekiah's eleventh year.
6
On the ninth day of the fourth month of that same year, when the famine was so bad that the people had nothing left to eat,

19
They took away everything that was made of gold or silver: the small bowls, the pans used for carrying live coals, the bowls for holding the blood from the sacrifices, the ash containers, the lampstands, the bowls used for incense, and the bowls used for pouring out wine offerings.

The bronze objects that King Solomon had made for the Temple---the two columns, the carts, the large tank, and the twelve bulls that supported it---were too heavy to weigh.
21
The two columns were identical: each one was 27 feet high and 18 feet around. They were hollow, and the metal was 3 inches thick. On top of each column was a bronze capital 7 1/2 feet high, and all around it was a grillwork decorated with pomegranates, all of which was also made of bronze.
23
On the grillwork of each column there were a hundred pomegranates in all, and ninety-six of these were visible from the ground.

27
in the territory of Hamath. There the king had them beaten and put to death. So the people of Judah were carried away from their land into exile.

This is the record of the people that Nebuchadnezzar took away as prisoners: in his seventh year as king he carried away 3,023;
29
in his eighteenth year, 832 from Jerusalem;
30
and in his twenty-third year, 745---taken away by Nebuzaradan. In all, 4,600 people were taken away.

In the year that Evil-merodach became king of Babylonia, he showed kindness to King Jehoiachin of Judah by releasing him from prison. This happened on the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth month of the thirty-seventh year after Jehoiachin had been taken away as a prisoner.
32
Evil-merodach treated him kindly and gave him a position of greater honor than he gave the other kings who were exiles with him in Babylonia.
33
So Jehoiachin was permitted to change from his prison clothes and to dine at the king's table for the rest of his life.
34
Each day for as long as he lived, he was given a regular allowance for his needs.
Lamentations 1:1-5
1
How lonely lies Jerusalem, once so full of people! Once honored by the world, she is now like a widow; The noblest of cities has fallen into slavery.
2
All night long she cries; tears run down her cheeks. Of all her former friends, not one is left to comfort her. Her allies have betrayed her and are all against her now.
3
Judah's people are helpless slaves, forced away from home. They live in other lands, with no place to call their own--- Surrounded by enemies, with no way to escape.
4
No one comes to the Temple now to worship on the holy days. The young women who sang there suffer, and the priests can only groan. The city gates stand empty, and Zion is in agony.
5
Her enemies succeeded; they hold her in their power. The LORD has made her suffer for all her many sins; Her children have been captured and taken away.

Job 30:1-10
1
But men younger than I am make fun of me now! Their fathers have always been so worthless that I wouldn't let them help my dogs guard sheep.
2
They were a bunch of worn-out men, too weak to do any work for me.
3
They were so poor and hungry that they would gnaw dry roots--- at night, in wild, desolate places.
4
They pulled up the plants of the desert and ate them, even the tasteless roots of the broom tree!
5
Everyone drove them away with shouts, as if they were shouting at thieves.
6
They had to live in caves, in holes dug in the sides of cliffs.
7
Out in the wilds they howled like animals and huddled together under the bushes.
8
A worthless bunch of nameless nobodies! They were driven out of the land.

42
"He saved others, but he cannot save himself ! Isn't he the king of Israel? If he will come down off the cross now, we will believe in him!
43
He trusts in God and claims to be God's Son. Well, then, let us see if God wants to save him now!"
