7 “ ‘ “And after that,” declares Jehovah, “I will give King Zed·e·kiʹah of Judah and his servants and the people of this city​—⁠those who survive the pestilence, the sword, and the famine​—⁠into the hand of King Neb·u·chad·nezʹzar* of Babylon, into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those who are seeking to take their life.*+ He will strike them down with the sword. He will not feel sorry for them, nor will he show compassion or have any mercy.” ’+
