“‘But now, some nations or kingdoms might refuse to serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. They might refuse to put his yoke {\cf2\super [212]} on their necks. If that happens, this is what I will do: I will punish that nation with sword, hunger, and terrible sickness.’” This message is from the Lord. “I will do that until I destroy that nation. I will use Nebuchadnezzar to destroy the nation that fights against him.
