¹⁹ Then ^(A)they burned the house of God and broke down the wall of Jerusalem, and burned all its fortified buildings with fire and destroyed all its valuable articles.

² “Thus says the Lord God of Israel, ‘^(A)Go and speak to Zedekiah king of Judah and say to him: “Thus says the Lord, ‘Behold, ^(B)I am giving this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and ^(C)he will burn it with fire.

¹⁰ For ^(A)even if you had defeated the entire army of Chaldeans who were fighting against you, and there were only wounded men left among them, each man in his tent, they would rise up and ^(B)burn this city with fire.’”

¹⁸ But if you will ^(A)not go out to the officers of the king of Babylon, then this city ^(B)will be given over to the hand of the Chaldeans; and they will burn it with fire, and ^(C)you yourself will not escape from their hand.’”

⁸ The Chaldeans also ^(A)burned with fire the king’s palace and the houses of the people, and they ^(B)broke down the walls of Jerusalem.

¹³ He ^(A)burned the house of the Lord, the ^(B)king’s house and all the houses of Jerusalem; even every large house he burned with fire.
