‘I will send the enemy with a sword to kill.
    I will send the dogs to drag their bodies away.

    to eat and destroy their bodies.

    an example of something terrible for all the people on earth.

    because of what Manasseh[a] did in Jerusalem.

    No one will be sad and cry for you.
    No one will go out of their way to even ask how you are.
