^27 (A)Behold, I am watching over them for disaster and not for good. ^(B)All the men of Judah who are in the land of Egypt shall be consumed by the sword and by famine, until there is an end of them.

²⁸ And it shall come to pass that ^(A)as I have watched over them ^(B)to pluck up and break down, to overthrow, destroy, and bring harm, ^(C)so I will watch over them ^(D)to build and to plant, declares the Lord.

¹⁴ And I will forsake the remnant of my heritage and give them into the hand of their enemies, and they shall become a prey and a spoil to all their enemies,

^6 (A)An end has come; the end has come; it has awakened against you. Behold, it comes.

¹⁸ But since we left off making offerings to ^(A)the queen of heaven and pouring out drink offerings to her, we have lacked everything ^(B)and have been consumed by the sword and by famine.”

¹² I will take the remnant of Judah who have ^(A)set their faces to come to the land of Egypt to live, and they shall all be consumed. ^(B)In the land of Egypt they shall fall; by the sword and by famine ^(C)they shall be consumed. ^(D)From the least to the greatest, they shall die by the sword and by famine, ^(E)and they shall become an oath, a horror, ^(F)a curse, and a taunt.

¹⁰ For ^(A)I have set my face against this city for harm and ^(B)not for good, declares the Lord: ^(C)it shall be given into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire.’
