3. Four kinds of scourge I have decreed against them—oracle of the Lord—the sword to kill them; dogs to drag them off; the birds of the sky and the beasts of the earth to devour and destroy them.
4. And I will make them an object of horror to all the kingdoms of the earth because of what Manasseh, son of Hezekiah, king of Judah, did in Jerusalem.
5. Who will pity you, Jerusalem,who will grieve for you?Who will stop to askabout your welfare?
6. It is you who have disowned me—oracle of the Lord—turned your back upon me;I stretched out my hand to destroy you,because I was weary of relenting.
