Lamentations 2:2Christian Standard Bible AnglicisedWithout compassion the Lord has swallowed up all the dwellings of Jacob. In his wrath he has demolished the fortified cities of Daughter Judah. He brought them to the ground and defiled the kingdom and its leaders. See the chapter |
Afterwards #– #this is the Lord’s declaration #– #King Zedekiah of Judah, his officers, and the people #– #those in this city who survive the plague, the sword, and the famine #– #I will hand over to King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, to their enemies, yes, to those who intend to take their lives. He will put them to the sword; he won’t spare them or show pity or compassion.”
