| 7. Formal Translation After this declares the LORD {Yahweh, Righteous Judge}, I will hand over Zedekiah, king of Judah, his servants, the people, and those remaining in this city who survived the pestilence, the sword, and the famine into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, into the hands of their enemies, and into the hands of those seeking their lives. He will strike them down with the edge of the sword; he will not spare them, nor will he have compassion, nor will he show mercy. |
