7 “‘“And after that,” declares Jehovah, “I will give King Zed·e·kiʹah of Judah and his servants and the people of this city—those who survive the pestilence, the sword, and the famine—into the hand of King Neb·u·chad·nezʹzar* of Babylon, into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those who are seeking to take their life.*+ He will strike them down with the sword. He will not feel sorry for them, nor will he show compassion or have any mercy.”’+
