Afterwards," declares the LORD, "I'll give King Zedekiah of Judah, his officials, and the people&#8212;those who are left in this city from the plague, the sword, and the famine&#8212;into the control of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, right into the hand of their enemies and the hand of those who want to kill them. He'll execute them with swords and won't pity them. He won't spare them, nor will he have compassion on them."'
