¹⁶ I, in turn, will do this to you: I will appoint over you a ^(A)sudden terror, consumption and fever that will waste away the eyes and cause the ^(B)soul to pine away; also, ^(C)you will sow your seed uselessly, for your enemies will eat it up.

³¹ Your ox shall be slaughtered before your eyes, but you will not eat of it; your donkey shall be torn away from you and will not be returned to you; your sheep shall be given to your enemies, and you will have none to save you.

^33 (A)A people whom you do not know shall eat up the produce of your ground and all your labors, and you will never be anything but oppressed and crushed all your days.

¹⁷ “Israel is a ^(A)scattered ^[a]flock; the ^(B)lions have banished them away. The first one who devoured him was the ^(C)king of Assyria, and this last one who has broken his bones is ^(D)Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon.
