Please remember what you told us through your servant Moses: ‘If you are unfaithful, I will scatter you among the nations.
Remember the word ⌞you gave⌟ me. Through it you gave me hope.
I will scatter you among the nations and force you into other countries. I will put an end to your uncleanness.
That is why parents will eat their children, and children will eat their parents. I will punish you and scatter whoever is left to the wind.
“ ‘But I will let some people live. Some people will escape the battle among the nations and be scattered throughout the countries.
He has shown his mercy to our ancestors and remembered his holy promise,
Then the Lord will scatter you among all the people of the world, from one end of the earth to the other. There you will serve gods made of wood and stone that neither you nor your ancestors ever knew.
