2 This is what the LORD {YHWH} said to me: “Make for yourself a yoke out of leather straps and put it on your neck. 3 Send word to the kings of Edom (red), Moab (of his father), Ammon (tribal), Tyre (a rock), and Sidon (hunting) through the envoys who have come to Jerusalem (city of peace) to Zedekiah (YHWH is righteous) king of Judah (praised). 4 Give them a message from the LORD {YHWH} of Hosts, the God {Elohe} of Israel (he wrestles with God), to relay to their masters: 5 By My great power and outstretched arm, I made the earth and the men and beasts on the face of it, and I give it to whom I please. 6 So now I have placed all these lands under the authority of My servant Nebuchadnezzar (may Nebo protect the crown) king of Babylon (confusion by mixing). I have even made the beasts of the field subject to him. 7 All nations will serve him and his son and grandson, until the time of his own land comes; then many nations and great kings will enslave him.
