Israel » Prophecies concerning » Dispersion of
and I will shake the house of Israel
among all the nations,

There were Jews living in Jerusalem, devout men from every nation under heaven.
because they have not listened to Him;
they will become wanderers among the nations.
You sold the people of Judah and Jerusalem to the Greeks to remove them far from their own territory.
I dispersed them among the nations, and they were scattered among the countries. I judged them according to their conduct and actions.
Then the Jews said to one another, “Where does He intend to go so we won’t find Him? He doesn’t intend to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks, does He?
A third of your people will die by plague and be consumed by famine within you; a third will fall by the sword all around you; and I will scatter a third to every direction of the wind, and I will draw a sword to chase after them.
