56
As you will do to my chosen people, says the Lord, so God will do to you, and will hand you over to adversities.
57
Your children shall die of hunger, and you shall fall by the sword; your cities shall be wiped out, and all your people who are in the open country shall fall by the sword.
58
Those who are in the mountains and highlands shall perish of hunger, and they shall eat their own flesh in hunger for bread and drink their own blood in thirst for water.
59
Unhappy above all others, you shall come and suffer fresh miseries.
60
As they pass by they shall crush the hateful city, and shall destroy a part of your land and abolish a portion of your glory, when they return from devastated Babylon.
61
You shall be broken down by them like stubble, and they shall be like fire to you.
62
They shall devour you and your cities, your land and your mountains; they shall burn with fire all your forests and your fruitful trees.
63
They shall carry your children away captive, plunder your wealth, and mar the glory of your countenance.
