Jeremiah 20:5Amplified Bible - Classic EditionMoreover, I will deliver all the riches of this city–all the results of its labors, all its precious things, and all the treasures of the kings of Judah–into the hand of their enemies, who will make them a prey and plunder them and seize them and carry them to Babylon. See the chapter |
See the siege mounds [of earth which the foe has heaped against the walls]; they have come up to the city to take it. And the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans who fight against it, because [the people are overcome] by the sword and the famine and the pestilence. What You have spoken has come to pass, and behold, You see it.
Jerusalem [earnestly] remembers in the days of her affliction, in the days of her [compulsory] wanderings and her bitterness, all the pleasant and precious things that she had from the days of old. When her people fell into and at the hands of the adversary, and there was none to help her, the enemy [gloated as they] looked at her, and they mocked at her desolations and downfall.
