¹⁸ Nhưng, từ khi chúng tôi thôi đốt hương và làm lễ quán cho nữ vương trên trời, thì chúng tôi thiếu thốn mọi sự, và bị nuốt bởi gươm dao đói kém.

⁹ Ta sẽ phó chúng nó để bị ném đi ném lại giữa mọi nước thế gian cho chúng nó chịu khổ, chịu mắng nhiếc, xoi bói, cười chê, rủa sả, trong mọi xứ mà ta sẽ đuổi chúng nó đến.

¹¹ For as the belt clings to the waist of a man, so have I caused to cling to me the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah, says Yahweh; that they may be to me for a people, and for a name, and for a praise, and for a glory: but they would not hear.

¹² Therefore you shall speak to them this word: Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, Every bottle shall be filled with wine: and they shall tell you, Do we not certainly know that every bottle shall be filled with wine?

¹³ Then you shall tell them, Thus says Yahweh, Behold, I will fill all the inhabitants of this land, even the kings who sit on David's throne, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, with drunkenness.

¹⁴ I will dash them one against another, even the fathers and the sons together, says Yahweh: I will not pity, nor spare, nor have compassion, that I should not destroy them.

¹⁵ Hear, and give ear; don't be proud; for Yahweh has spoken.
