2 And when they ask you, ‘Where shall we go?’ you shall say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord:
(A)“‘Those who are for pestilence, to pestilence,
and those who are for the sword, to the sword;
those who are for famine, to famine,
and those who are for captivity, to captivity.’

5 (G)“Who will have pity on you, O Jerusalem,
(H)or who will grieve for you?
Who will turn aside
to ask about your welfare?
6 (I)You have rejected me, declares the Lord;
(J)you keep going backward,
so I have stretched out my hand against you and destroyed you—
(K)I am weary of relenting.
7 (L)I have winnowed them with (M)a winnowing fork
in the gates of the land;
I have bereaved them; I have destroyed my people;
(N)they did not turn from their ways.
8 I have made their widows more in number
than (O)the sand of the seas;
I have brought against the mothers of young men
a destroyer at noonday;
I have made anguish and terror
fall upon them suddenly.
9 (P)She who bore seven has grown feeble;
(Q)she has fainted away;
(R)her sun went down while it was yet day;
she has been shamed and disgraced.
And the rest of them I will give to the sword
before their enemies,
declares the Lord.”

The (B)sound of a (C)driven leaf shall put them to flight, and they shall flee as one flees from the sword, and they shall fall when none pursues. 37 They shall stumble over one another, as if to escape a sword, though none pursues. And (D)you shall have no power to stand before your enemies.
