² that ^(A)Hanani one of my brethren came with men from Judah; and I asked them concerning the Jews who had escaped, who had survived the captivity, and concerning Jerusalem.

² that I gave the charge of Jerusalem to my brother ^(A)Hanani, and Hananiah the leader ^(B)of the ^[a]citadel, for he was a faithful man and ^(C)feared God more than many.

⁹ Then those of you who escape will ^(A)remember Me among the nations where they are carried captive, because ^(B)I was crushed by their adulterous heart which has departed from Me, and ^(C)by their eyes which play the harlot after their idols; ^(D)they will loathe themselves for the evils which they committed in all their abominations.

²⁶ that on that day ^(A)one who escapes will come to you to let you hear it with your ears? ^27 (B)On that day your mouth will be opened to him who has escaped; you shall speak and no longer be mute. Thus you will be a sign to them, and they shall know that I am the Lord.’ ”

¹⁴ so that none of the remnant of Judah who have gone into the land of Egypt to dwell there shall escape or survive, lest they return to the land of Judah, to which they ^(A)desire^[a] to return and dwell. For ^(B)none shall return except those who escape.’ ”

¹⁴ should we ^(A)again break Your commandments, and ^(B)join in marriage with the people committing these abominations? Would You not be ^(C)angry with us until You had ^[a]consumed us, so that there would be no remnant or survivor?
