I will make you and the woman
enemies to each other.
Your children and her children
will be enemies.
You will bite her child’s foot,

A scroll {\cf2\super [30]} was found in the fortress {\cf2\super [31]} of Ecbatana. Ecbatana is in the province of Media. This is what was written on that scroll:
“Jeremiah, get a scroll {\cf2\super [300]} and write on it all the messages I have spoken to you. I have spoken to you about the nations of Israel and Judah and all the nations. Write all the words that I have spoken to you from the time that Josiah was king, until now.
\{God\} said to me, “Son of man, {\cf2\super [18]} eat what you see. Eat this scroll, {\cf2\super [19]} and then go tell these things to the family of Israel.”
