Obey, I beg you, Yahweh’s voice, in that which I speak to you; so it will be well with you, and your soul will live.But if you refuse to go out, this is the word that Yahweh has shown me:‘ Behold, all the women who are left in the king of Judah’s house will be brought out to the king of Babylon’s princes, and those women will say,“ Your familiar friends have turned on you, and have prevailed over you. Your feet are sunk in the mire, they have turned away from you.”They will bring out all your wives and your children to the Chaldeans. You won’t escape out of their hand, but will be taken by the hand of the king of Babylon. You will cause this city to be burned with fire.’”

They will know that I, Yahweh, have spoken in my zeal, when I have accomplished my wrath on them.“‘ Moreover I will make you a desolation and a reproach among the nations that are around you, in the sight of all that pass by.So it will be a reproach and a taunt, an instruction and an astonishment, to the nations that are around you, when I execute judgments on you in anger and in wrath, and in wrathful rebukes— I, Yahweh, have spoken it—when I send on them the evil arrows of famine that are for destruction, which I will send to destroy you.

I will bring the sword on you. I, Yahweh, have spoken it.’”
