² And if they ask you, ‘Where shall we go?’ tell them, ‘This is what the Lord says:

³ “I will send four kinds of destroyers^(A) against them,” declares the Lord, “the sword^(B) to kill and the dogs^(C) to drag away and the birds^(D) and the wild animals to devour and destroy.^(E)

¹⁰ I will send the sword,^(A) famine^(B) and plague^(C) against them until they are destroyed from the land I gave to them and their ancestors.^(D)’”

¹² A third of your people will die of the plague or perish by famine inside you; a third will fall by the sword outside your walls; and a third I will scatter to the winds^(A) and pursue with drawn sword.^(B)

¹⁷ I will send famine and wild beasts^(A) against you, and they will leave you childless. Plague and bloodshed^(B) will sweep through you, and I will bring the sword against you. I the Lord have spoken.^(C)”
