The Lord shall bring upon you a nation from the extremity of the earth, like the swift flying of an eagle, a nation whose voice you shall not understand;

And it shall eat up the young of your livestock, and the fruits of your land, so as not to leave to you grain, wine, oil, the herds of your oxen, and the flocks of your sheep, until it has destroyed you;

Behold, the days are coming when they shall take all the [things that are] in your house, and all that your fathers have gathered until this day, [and they] shall go to Babylon, and they shall not leave one thing. And God said,

They shall also take of your children whom you shall beget; and they shall make them eunuchs in the house of the king of the Babylonians.

Thus says the Lord: Behold, I [will] turn back the weapons of war with which you fight against the Chaldeans that have besieged you from outside the wall, and I will gather them into the midst of this city.
