¹²On all the ^[a]^(A)bare heights in the wilderness
Destroyers have come,
For the ^(B)sword of the Lord is devouring
From one end of the land even to the ^[b]other;
There is ^(C)no peace for ^[c]anyone.

Judgment Must Come

15 Then the Lord said to me, “Even ^(A)if ^(B)Moses and ^(C)Samuel were to ^(D)stand before Me, My ^[a]heart would not be ^[b]with this people. ^(E)Send them away from My presence and have them go! ²And it shall be that when they say to you, ‘Where should we go?’ then you are to tell them, ‘This is what the Lord says:

“Those destined ^(F)for death, to death;
And those destined for the sword, to the sword;
And those destined for famine, to famine;
And those destined for captivity, to captivity.”’

³And I will ^(G)appoint over them four kinds of doom,” declares the Lord: “the sword to kill, the ^(H)dogs to drag away, and the ^(I)birds of the sky and the animals of the earth to devour and destroy. ⁴I will ^(J)make them an object of terror among all the kingdoms of the earth because of ^(K)Manasseh, the son of Hezekiah, the king of Judah, for what he did in Jerusalem.
