13 And he also arebelled against King Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear an oath by God; but he bstiffened his neck and hardened his heart against turning to the Lord God of Israel.
14 Moreover all the leaders of the priests and the people transgressed more and more, according to all the abominations of the nations, and defiled the house of the Lord which He had consecrated in Jerusalem.
The Fall of Jerusalem
15 aAnd the Lord God of their fathers sent warnings to them by His messengers, rising up early and sending them, because He had compassion on His people and on His dwelling place.
16 But athey mocked the messengers of God, bdespised His words, and cscoffed at His prophets, until the dwrath of the Lord arose against His people, till there was no remedy.
17 aTherefore He brought against them the king of the Chaldeans, who bkilled their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and had no compassion on young man or virgin, on the aged or the weak; He gave them all into his hand.
18 aAnd all the articles from the house of God, great and small, the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the king and of his leaders, all these he took to Babylon.
19 aThen they burned the house of God, broke down the wall of Jerusalem, burned all its palaces with fire, and destroyed all its precious possessions.
