New King James Version
2 And it shall be, if they say to you, ‘Where should we go?’ then you shall tell them, ‘Thus says the Lord:
(A)“Such as are for death, to death;
And such as are for the sword, to the sword;
And such as are for the famine, to the famine;
And such as are for the (B)captivity, to the captivity.” ’
3 “And I will (C)appoint over them four forms of destruction,” says the Lord: “the sword to slay, the dogs to drag, (D)the birds of the heavens and the beasts of the earth to devour and destroy. 4 I will hand them over to (E)trouble, to all kingdoms of the earth, because of (F)Manasseh the son of Hezekiah, king of Judah, for what he did in Jerusalem.

Ezekiel 19:9-14
New King James Version
9 (A)They put him in a cage with [a]chains,
And brought him to the king of Babylon;
They brought him in nets,
That his voice should no longer be heard on (B)the mountains of Israel.
10 ‘Your mother was (C)like a vine in your [b]bloodline,
Planted by the waters,
(D)Fruitful and full of branches
Because of many waters.
11 She had strong branches for scepters of rulers.
(E)She towered in stature above the thick branches,
And was seen in her height amid the [c]dense foliage.
12 But she was (F)plucked up in fury,
She was cast down to the ground,
And the (G)east wind dried her fruit.
Her strong branches were broken and withered;
The fire consumed them.
13 And now she is planted in the wilderness,
In a dry and thirsty land.
14 (H)Fire has come out from a rod of her branches
And devoured her fruit,
So that she has no strong branch—a scepter for ruling.’ ”
(I)This is a lamentation, and has become a lamentation.
