2 If they ask you, ‘Where will we go?’ tell them: This is what the Lord says:

Those destined for death,q to death;

those destined for the sword, to the sword.

Those destined for famine, to famine;

those destined for captivity, to captivity.

3 “I will ordain four kindsA of judgment for them”—this is the Lord’s declaration—“the sword to kill, the dogs to drag away,r and the birds of the sky and the wild animals of the lands to devour and destroy.
