For though you had smitten the whole army of the Chaldeans who fight against you, and there remained only wounded men among them, they would rise up, each man in his tent, and burn this city with fire.

But if you will not go forth to the rulers of the king of Babylon, then this city shall be given into the hands of the Chaldeans, and they shall burn it with fire, and you shall not escape out of their hand.

And the Chaldeans burned the king's house and the houses of the people, with fire, and broke down the walls of Jerusalem.

The Word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

Therefore thus says the Lord Jehovah: Because you have all become dross, therefore behold, I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem.

And the company shall stone them with stones and cut them down with their swords. They shall slay their sons and their daughters, and burn their houses with fire.

Thus I will bring an end to lewdness from the land, that all women may be taught not to do according to your lewdness.

Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean; I will cleanse you from all your defilement and from all your idols.

And I will turn back My hand upon you, and refine your dross, as with lye, and remove all your alloy.

And I will also cut off your graven images and your pillars from your midst. And you shall no more bow down to the work of your hands.
