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.
