International Standard Version
False Reliance on Abraham’s Heritage
21 On the fifth day of the tenth month of the twelfth year of our captivity, a fugitive who had escaped from Jerusalem came and informed me, “The city has been destroyed.”
22 Now the hand of the Lord had been touching me the evening before that fugitive arrived, so the Lord had given me something to say by the time the messenger[a] arrived the next morning. He opened my mouth and I no longer had nothing to say to him.[b]
