2  And the Lord sent against him bands of the Chaldees, and bands of the Syrians, and bands of the Moabites, and bands of the children of Ammon, and sent them against Judah to destroy it, according to the ^dword of the Lord, which he spake by his servants the prophets.

  18  Therefore the Lord was very angry with Israel, and ^aremoved them out of his sight: there was none left but the tribe of Judah only.

  13  And he read, saying: Wo, wo, unto Jerusalem, for I have seen thine abominations! Yea, and many things did my father read concerning ^bJerusalem—that it should be destroyed, and the inhabitants thereof; many should perish by the sword, and many should be carried away captive into Babylon.
