<p class="poetry">The prophets will prove to be full of wind.<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">The <sc>Lordsc> has not spoken through them.<n id="2" />p> <p class="poetry">So, let what they say happen to them.&#8217;&#8221;p>

In those days, your population will greatly increase<n id="1" /> in the land. At that time,&#8221; says the <sc>Lordsc>, &#8220;people will no longer talk about having the ark<n id="2" /> that contains the <sc>Lordsc>&#8217;s covenant with us.<n id="3" /> They will not call it to mind, remember it, or miss it. No, that will not be done any more!<n id="4" />

&#8220;Please ask the <sc>Lordsc> to come and help us,<n id="1" /> because King Nebuchadnezzar<n id="2" /> of Babylon is attacking us. Maybe the <sc>Lordsc> will perform one of his miracles as in times past and make him stop attacking us and leave.&#8221;<n id="3" />

The prophet Jeremiah said, &#8220;Amen! May the <sc>Lordsc> do all this! May the <sc>Lordsc> make your prophecy come true! May he bring back to this place from Babylon all the valuable articles taken from the <sc>Lordsc>&#8217;s temple and the people who were carried into exile.
