Context Reading
3“I will appoint over them four kinds,” says Yahweh: “the sword to kill, the dogs to tear, the birds of the sky, and the animals of the earth, to devour and to destroy. 4I will cause them to be tossed back and forth among all the kingdoms of the earth, because of Manasseh, the son of Hezekiah, king of Judah, for that which he did in Jerusalem. 5For who will have pity on you, Jerusalem?Who will mourn you?Who will come to ask of your welfare? 6You have rejected me,” says Yahweh.“You have gone backward.Therefore I have stretched out my hand against youand destroyed you.I am weary of showing compassion. 7I have winnowed them with a fan in the gates of the land.I have bereaved them of children.I have destroyed my people.They didn’t return from their ways.
