19 Therefore, thus says the Lord God, “As I live, surely My oath which he despised and My covenant which he broke, I will (a)inflict on his head. 20 I will spread My (A)net over him, and he will be (B)caught in My snare. Then I will bring him to Babylon and (C)enter into judgment with him there regarding the unfaithful act which he has committed against Me. 21 All the (b)(D)choice men in all his troops will fall by the sword, and the survivors will be scattered to every wind; and you will know that I, the Lord, have spoken.”
