They might ask you, ‘Where will we go?’ Tell them this is what the Lord says:

“‘I have chosen some people to die.
    They will die.
I have chosen some to be killed with swords.
    They will be killed with swords.
I have chosen some to die from hunger.
    They will die from hunger.
I have chosen some to be taken away to a foreign country.
    They will be prisoners there.
I will send four kinds of destroyers against them.’
    This message is from the Lord.
‘I will send the enemy with a sword to kill.
    I will send the dogs to drag their bodies away.
I will send birds of the air and wild animals
    to eat and destroy their bodies.
I will make the people of Judah
    an example of something terrible for all the people on earth.
I will do this to the people of Judah
    because of what Manasseh[a] did in Jerusalem.
Manasseh was the son of King Hezekiah.
    Manasseh was a king of Judah.’
