⁷ Your people will fall slain^(A) among you, and you will know that I am the Lord.^(B)

¹⁴ And I will stretch out my hand^(A) against them and make the land a desolate waste from the desert to Diblah^[a]—wherever they live. Then they will know that I am the Lord.^(B)’”

¹⁶ But I will spare a few of them from the sword, famine and plague, so that in the nations where they go they may acknowledge all their detestable practices. Then they will know that I am the Lord.^(A)”

²⁰ The inhabited towns will be laid waste and the land will be desolate. Then you will know that I am the Lord.^(A)’”
