⁴ For this is what the Lord says: ‘I will make you a terror to yourself and to all your friends; with your own eyes^(A) you will see them fall by the sword of their enemies. I will give^(B) all Judah into the hands of the king of Babylon, who will carry^(C) them away to Babylon or put them to the sword. ⁵ I will deliver all the wealth^(D) of this city into the hands of their enemies—all its products, all its valuables and all the treasures of the kings of Judah. They will take it away^(E) as plunder and carry it off to Babylon. ⁶ And you, Pashhur, and all who live in your house will go into exile to Babylon. There you will die and be buried, you and all your friends to whom you have prophesied^(F) lies.’”

²⁴ “As surely as I live,” declares the Lord, “even if you, Jehoiachin^[b](N) son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, were a signet ring^(O) on my right hand, I would still pull you off. ²⁵ I will deliver^(P) you into the hands of those who want to kill you, those you fear—Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and the Babylonians.^{[c] 26} I will hurl^(Q) you and the mother^(R) who gave you birth into another country, where neither of you was born, and there you both will die.

⁹ I will summon^(A) all the peoples of the north^(B) and my servant^(C) Nebuchadnezzar^(D) king of Babylon,” declares the Lord, “and I will bring them against this land and its inhabitants and against all the surrounding nations. I will completely destroy^[a](E) them and make them an object of horror and scorn,^(F) and an everlasting ruin.^{(G) 10} I will banish from them the sounds^(H) of joy and gladness, the voices of bride and bridegroom,^(I) the sound of millstones^(J) and the light of the lamp.^{(K) 11} This whole country will become a desolate wasteland,^(L) and these nations will serve^(M) the king of Babylon seventy years.^(N)
