Therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the <sc>Lordsc>:

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;&#8216;Therefore, this is what the sovereign <sc>Lordsc> says: Because you have spoken false words and forecast delusion, look,<n id="1" /> I am against you,<n id="2" /> declares the sovereign <sc>Lordsc>.

Therefore this is what the sovereign <sc>Lordsc> says: &#8216;Because all of you<n id="1" /> have become slag, look out! &#8211; I am about to gather you in the middle of Jerusalem.<n id="2" />

Therefore I handed her over to her lovers, the Assyrians<n id="1" /> for whom she lusted.

<p class="poetry">&#8220;&#8216;Therefore this is what the sovereign <sc>Lordsc> says:p> <p class="poetry">Woe to the city of bloodshed!p> <p class="poetry">I will also make the pile high.p>

<p class="poetry">&#8220;&#8216;Therefore this is what the sovereign <sc>Lordsc> says:p> <p class="poetry">Because you think you are godlike,<n id="1" />p>

Therefore fathers will eat their sons within you, Jerusalem,<n id="1" /> and sons will eat their fathers. I will execute judgments on you, and I will scatter any survivors<n id="2" /> to the winds.<n id="3" />p>

Therefore, this is what the sovereign <sc>Lordsc> says: &#8216;The corpses you have dumped<n id="1" /> in the midst of the city<n id="2" /> are the meat, and this city<n id="3" /> is the cooking pot, but I will take you out of it.<n id="4" />

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;&#8216;Therefore this is what the sovereign <sc>Lordsc> says: In my rage I will make a violent wind break out. In my anger there will be a deluge of rain and hailstones in destructive fury.

So take note,<n id="1" /> I am about to make you slaves of<n id="2" /> the tribes<n id="3" /> of the east. They will make camps among you and pitch their tents among you. They will eat your fruit and drink your milk.
