Jeremiah 34:17-20
English Standard Version
17 “Therefore, thus says the Lord: You have not obeyed me (A)by proclaiming liberty, every one to his brother and to his neighbor; (B)behold, I proclaim to you liberty (C)to the sword, to pestilence, and to famine, declares the Lord. (D)I will make you a horror to all the kingdoms of the earth. 18 And the men who transgressed my covenant and did not keep the terms of (E)the covenant that they made before me, I will make them like[a] (F)the calf that they cut in two and passed between its parts— 19 the officials of Judah, the officials of Jerusalem, (G)the eunuchs, the priests, and all the people of the land who passed between the parts of the calf. 20 And I will give them into the hand of their enemies (H)and into the hand of those who seek their lives. (I)Their dead bodies shall be food for the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth.

New Living Translation
17 “Therefore, this is what the Lord says: Since you have not obeyed me by setting your countrymen free, I will set you free to be destroyed by war, disease, and famine. You will be an object of horror to all the nations of the earth. 18 Because you have broken the terms of our covenant, I will cut you apart just as you cut apart the calf when you walked between its halves to solemnize your vows. 19 Yes, I will cut you apart, whether you are officials of Judah or Jerusalem, court officials, priests, or common people—for you have broken your oath. 20 I will give you to your enemies, and they will kill you. Your bodies will be food for the vultures and wild animals.
