The Lord's Negative Response

1 Then the Lord said to me: "Even if Moses and Samuel should stand before Me, My compassions would not [reach out] to these people. Send them from My presence, and let them go. 2 If they ask you: Where will we go? you must tell them: This is what the Lord says: Those [destined] for death, to death; those [destined] for the sword, to the sword. Those [destined] for famine, to famine; those [destined] for captivity, to captivity. 3 "I will ordain four kinds^a [of judgment] for them"-[this is] the Lord's declaration-"the sword to kill, the dogs to drag away,^b and the birds of the sky and the wild animals of the land^c to devour and destroy. 4 I will make them a horror to all the kingdoms of the earth because of Manasseh^d son of Hezekiah, the king of Judah, for what he did in Jerusalem. 5 Who will have pity on you, Jerusalem?^e Who will show sympathy toward you?^f Who will turn aside to ask about your welfare? 6 You have left Me. [This is]*The bracketed text has been added for clarity. the Lord's declaration. You have turned your back, so I have stretched out My hand against you and destroyed you. I am tired of showing compassion.
