- And it shall be, if they say to you, 'Where should we go?'
- then you shall tell them, 'Thus says the Lord:
- "Such as are for death, to death;
- And such as are for the sword, to the sword;
- And such as are for the famine, to the famine;
- And such as are for the captivity, to the captivity."'[6]
- The instrument of God's judgment would be foreign armies (Jeremiah 14:11-12).[7]
