2 Thus said Jehovah to me: Make to thee bonds and rods and give them upon thy neck, 3 And send them to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the sons of Ammon, and to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Zidon, by the hand of messengers coming to Jerusalem to Zedekiah king of Judah; 4 And command them to say to their lords, Thus said Jehovah of armies God of Israel: Thus shall ye say to your lords: 5 I made the earth, the man and the cattle which are upon the face of the earth, by my great power and by mine arm stretched forth, and I gave it to whom was right in mine eyes. 6 And now I gave all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babel, my servant; and also the beasts of the field gave I to him to serve him. 7 And all the nations served him, and his son, and his son's son, even till the time itself also of his land came: and many nations and great kings served upon him.
