1. Then the Lord said to me, “Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, yet my mind would not be towards this people. Cast them out of my sight, and let them go out!
2. It will happen, when they tell you, ‘Where shall we go out?’ Then you shall tell them, ‘the Lord says:“Such as are for death, to death;such as are for the sword, to the sword;such as are for the famine, to the famine;and such as are for captivity, to captivity.”’
3. “I will appoint over them four kinds,” says the Lord: “the sword to kill, the dogs to tear, the birds of the sky, and the animals of the earth, to devour and to destroy.
4. I will cause them to be tossed back and forth amongst all the kingdoms of the earth, because of Manasseh, the son of Hezekiah, king of Judah, for that which he did in Jerusalem.
