⁴⁶ For thus says the Lord God: ^(A)“Bring up a vast host against them, and make them ^(B)an object of terror and ^(C)a plunder.

^40 (A)They shall bring up a crowd against you, ^(B)and they shall stone you and cut you to pieces with their swords.

⁹ I will make them ^(A)a horror^[a] to all the kingdoms of the earth, to be ^(B)a reproach, ^(C)a byword, ^(D)a taunt, and ^(E)a curse in all the places where I shall drive them.

^4 (A)And I will make them a horror to all the kingdoms of the earth because of what ^(B)Manasseh the son of Hezekiah, king of Judah, did in Jerusalem.

²² Therefore, O Oholibah, thus says the Lord God: “Behold, I will stir up against you your lovers ^(A)from whom you turned in disgust, ^(B)and I will bring them against you from every side: ²³ the Babylonians and all the Chaldeans, ^(C)Pekod and Shoa and Koa, and all the Assyrians with them, ^(D)desirable young men, ^(E)governors and commanders all of them, officers and men of renown, all of them riding on horses. ²⁴ And they shall come against you from the north^[a] with chariots and wagons and a host of peoples. ^(F)They shall set themselves against you on every side with buckler, shield, and helmet; and ^(G)I will commit the judgment to them, and ^(H)they shall judge you according to their judgments. ²⁵ And I will direct my jealousy against you, ^(I)that they may deal with you in fury. They shall cut off your nose and your ears, and your survivors shall fall by the sword. ^(J)They shall seize your sons and your daughters, and your survivors shall be devoured by fire. ^26 (K)They shall also strip you of your clothes and take away your beautiful jewels.

¹⁷ “Therefore, thus says the Lord: You have not obeyed me ^(A)by proclaiming liberty, every one to his brother and to his neighbor; ^(B)behold, I proclaim to you liberty ^(C)to the sword, to pestilence, and to famine, declares the Lord. ^(D)I will make you a horror to all the kingdoms of the earth.

^9 (A)behold, I will send for all the tribes of the north, declares the Lord, and for Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, ^(B)my servant, and I will bring them against this land and its inhabitants, and against all these surrounding nations. I will devote them to destruction, ^(C)and make them a horror, a hissing, and an everlasting desolation.
