“When this happens,” says the Lord, “the king and officers will lose their courage. The priests will be terribly afraid, and the prophets will be shocked!”
This is because bread and water will be hard to find. The people will be shocked at the sight of each other, and they will become weak because of their sin.
‘Listen, you people who doubt! You can wonder, and then die. I will do something in your lifetime that you won’t believe even when you are told about it!’ ”
You will have to feel around in the daylight like a blind person. You will fail in everything you do. People will hurt you and steal from you every day, and no one will save you.
When all these blessings and curses I have described happen to you, and the Lord your God has sent you away to other nations, think about these things.
