And after I have plucked them up, I will again have compassion on them, and I will bring them again to their heritage and to their land, every one of them.

And I will dash them one against another, parents and children together, says the Lord. I will not pity or spare or have compassion when I destroy them.

Afterward, says the Lord, I will give King Zedekiah of Judah and his servants and the people in this city—those who survive the pestilence, sword, and famine—into the hands of King Nebuchadrezzar of Babylon, into the hands of their enemies, into the hands of those who seek their lives. He shall strike them down with the edge of the sword; he shall not pity them or spare them or have compassion.

Thus says the Lord: I am going to restore the fortunes of the tents of Jacob and have compassion on his dwellings; the city shall be rebuilt upon its mound and the citadel set on its rightful site.
