‘For this is what the Lord God says: How much worse will it be when I send my four devastating judgements against Jerusalem #– #sword, famine, dangerous animals, and plague #– #in order to wipe out both people and animals from it!
then I will do this to you: I will bring terror on you #– #wasting disease and fever that will cause your eyes to fail and your life to ebb away. You will sow your seed in vain because your enemies will eat it.
I struck you #– #all the work of your hands #– #with blight, mildew, and hail, but you didn’t turn to me #– #this is the Lord’s declaration.
The Lord will cause you to be defeated before your enemies. You will march out against them from one direction but flee from them in seven directions. You will be an object of horror to all the kingdoms of the earth.
