God’s Judgment on Jerusalem’s Attackers

¹² “This will be the plague with which the Lord inflicts all of the people who have attacked Jerusalem: he will cause their flesh to rot away, even while they’re standing on their feet. He will cause their eyes to rot away in their sockets, and their tongues to rot away in their mouths. ¹³ At that time,^[a] they will be stricken with a terrible panic from the Lord. Everyone will attack each other. ¹⁴ Judah, too, will fight at Jerusalem. Then the wealth of the surrounding nations will be gathered up: gold, silver, and clothing in great abundance. ¹⁵ A similar plague will also strike horses, mules, camels, donkeys, and all of the animals in those camps.”
