So says Jehovah, Behold, I will bring evil on this place, and on the ones living in it, all the curses that are written in the Book that they have read before the king of Judah;
And your turbans shall be on your heads and your sandals on your feet. You shall not wail nor weep, but you shall rot away in your iniquities, and each man groan to his brother.
And you, son of man, say to the house of Israel, This you have spoken, saying, Surely our transgressions and our sins are on us, and we are rotting in them; and then shall we live?
When I break to you the staff of bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and shall give back your bread by weight; and you shall eat, and shall not be satisfied.
And of those who are left of you, they shall putrefy in their iniquity, in the lands of your enemies; and also in the iniquities of their fathers, they shall putrefy with them.
And two or three cities staggered to one city in order to drink water, but they were not satisfied; yet you have not returned to Me, a statement of Jehovah.
