But you have not given ear to me, says the Lord; so that you have made me angry with the work of your hands, causing evil to yourselves. So this is what the Lord of armies has said: Because you have not given ear to my words, See, I will send and take all the families of the north, says the Lord, and Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, my servant, and make them come against this land, and against its people, and against all these nations on every side; and I will give them up to complete destruction, and make them a cause of fear and surprise and a waste place for ever.
