And I allowed My wrath to come to full, yet I kept [it] in, and did not utterly destroy them. I will pour it out on the children outside, and on the assembly of young men together; for man and woman shall be taken together, the old man with him that is full of days.

And I will completely scatter them; in the gates of My people they are bereaved of children. They have destroyed My people because of their iniquities.

And He brought the king of the Chaldeans against them, and killed their young men with the sword in the house of His sanctuary, and did not spare Zedekiah, and had no mercy upon their virgins, and they led away their old men; He delivered all things into their hands.

And He said to the first in my hearing, Go after him into the city, and strike: and let not your eyes spare, neither have mercy.

And you, son of man, prophesy, and clap your hands, and take a second sword: the third sword is [the sword] of the slain, the great sword of the slain; and you shall strike them with amazement, lest the heart should faint,

But a remnant shall be left behind, and their relations shall take them, and shall strenuously endeavor to carry forth their bones from the house; and one shall say to the heads of the house, Is there yet [anyone] else with you? [ 6:11] And he shall say, No one else. And [the other] shall say, Be silent, that you name not the name of the Lord.

[ 6:12] For, behold, the Lord commands, and He will smite the great house with breaches, and the little house with clefts.
