16 Warn the nations: Look!
Proclaim to Jerusalem:
Those who besiege are coming
from a distant land;(A)
they raise their voices
against the cities of Judah.
17 They have her surrounded(B)
like those who guard a field,
because she has rebelled against Me.(C)
This is the Lord’s declaration.
18 Your way of life and your actions
have brought this on you.(D)
This is your punishment. It is very bitter,
because it has reached your heart!
