²⁷ But if you do not obey^(A) me to keep the Sabbath^(B) day holy by not carrying any load as you come through the gates of Jerusalem on the Sabbath day, then I will kindle an unquenchable fire^(C) in the gates of Jerusalem that will consume her fortresses.’”^(D)

²⁰ “‘Therefore this is what the Sovereign^(A) Lord says: My anger^(B) and my wrath will be poured^(C) out on this place—on man and beast, on the trees of the field and on the crops of your land—and it will burn and not be quenched.^(D)

⁹ He set fire^(A) to the temple of the Lord, the royal palace and all the houses of Jerusalem. Every important building he burned down.^(B)

¹¹ “But they refused to pay attention; stubbornly^(A) they turned their backs^(B) and covered their ears.^{(C) 12} They made their hearts as hard as flint^(D) and would not listen to the law or to the words that the Lord Almighty had sent by his Spirit through the earlier prophets.^(E) So the Lord Almighty was very angry.^(F)

¹³ “‘When I called, they did not listen;^(G) so when they called, I would not listen,’^(H) says the Lord Almighty.^{(I) 14} ‘I scattered^(J) them with a whirlwind^(K) among all the nations, where they were strangers. The land they left behind them was so desolate that no one traveled through it.^(L) This is how they made the pleasant land desolate.^(M)’”
