Now aI will gather them;
And they shall1 sorrow a little,
Because of the1 burden of bthe king of princes.
bBut the Lord does not accept them.
cNow He will remember their iniquity and punish their sins.
They shall return to Egypt.
And has built1 temples;
Judah also has multiplied cfortified cities;
But dI will send fire upon his cities,
And it shall devour his1 palaces.”
