Gates

They said to me, “The remnant there in the province who survived the captivity are in great distress and reproach, and the wall of Jerusalem is broken down and its gates are burned with fire.”

in the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, in the ninth day of the month, the city wall was breached.

The mighty men of Babylon have ceased fighting,
They stay in the strongholds;

Their strength is exhausted,

They are becoming like women;
Their dwelling places are set on fire,
The bars of her gates are broken.

So all the army of the Chaldeans who were with the captain of the guard broke down all the walls around Jerusalem.

Her king

Judah has gone into exile under affliction

And under harsh servitude;
She dwells among the nations,
But she has found no rest;
All her pursuers have overtaken her
In the midst of distress.

“Depart! Unclean!” they cried of themselves.
“Depart, depart, do not touch!”
So they fled and wandered;
Men among the nations said,
“They shall not continue to dwell with us.”

The Lord will bring you and your king, whom you set over you, to a nation which neither you nor your fathers have known, and there you shall serve other gods, wood and stone.

They slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, then put out the eyes of Zedekiah and bound him with bronze fetters and brought him to Babylon.

But the army of the Chaldeans pursued the king and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho, and all his army was scattered from him.

I will also spread My net over him, and he will be caught in My snare. And I will bring him to Babylon in the land of the Chaldeans; yet he will not see it, though he will die there.

The law

For many days Israel was without the true God and without a teaching priest and without law.

Disaster will come upon disaster and rumor will be added to rumor; then they will seek a vision from a prophet, but the law will be lost from the priest and counsel from the elders.

For the sons of Israel will remain for many days without king or prince, without sacrifice or sacred pillar and without ephod or

household idols.

Her prophets

We do not see our signs;
There is no longer any prophet,
Nor is there any among us who knows how long.

“Behold, days are coming,” declares the Lord God,
“When I will send a famine on the land,
Not a famine for bread or a thirst for water,
But rather for hearing the words of the Lord.

Therefore it will be night for you—without vision,
And darkness for you—without divination.
The sun will go down on the prophets,
And the day will become dark over them.

And the gate is battered to ruins.
