¹² When they fast, I am ^(A)not going to listen to their cry; and when they offer ^(B)burnt offering and grain offering, I am not going to accept them. Rather, I am going to ^(C)put an end to them by the ^(D)sword, famine, and plague.”

¹² A third of you will die by ^(A)plague or perish by famine among you, a third will fall by the sword around you, and a third I will ^(B)scatter to every wind, and I will ^(C)unsheathe a sword behind them.

²¹ For this is what the Lord God says: “How much more when ^(A)I send My four ^[a]severe judgments against Jerusalem: sword, famine, vicious animals, and plague to eliminate human and animal life from it!
