He will strike them with the edge of the sword. He will not spare them, have pity, or have mercy.”’“ You shall say to this people,‘ Yahweh says:“ Behold, I set before you the way of life and the way of death.He who remains in this city will die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence; but he who goes out and passes over to the Chaldeans who besiege you, he will live, and he will escape with his life.For I have set my face on this city for evil, and not for good,” says Yahweh.“ It will be given into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will burn it with fire.”’

I will cause them to fall by the sword before their enemies, and by the hand of those who seek their life. I will give their dead bodies to be food for the birds of the sky and for the animals of the earth.I will make this city an astonishment and a hissing. Everyone who passes by it will be astonished and hiss because of all its plagues.I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters. They will each eat the flesh of his friend in the siege and in the distress, with which their enemies, and those who seek their life, will distress them.”’

Isaiah 51:17-22
Awake, awake! Stand up, Jerusalem, you who have drunk from Yahweh’s hand the cup of his wrath. You have drunken the bowl of the cup of staggering, and drained it.There is no one to guide her among all the sons to whom she has given birth; and there is no one who takes her by the hand among all the sons who she has brought up.These two things have happened to you— who will grieve with you?— desolation and destruction, and famine and the sword. How can I comfort you?Your sons have fainted. They lie at the head of all the streets, like an antelope in a net. They are full of Yahweh’s wrath, the rebuke of your God.Therefore now hear this, you afflicted, and drunken, but not with wine:Your Lord Yahweh, your God who pleads the cause of his people, says,“ Behold, I have taken out of your hand the cup of staggering, even the bowl of the cup of my wrath. You will not drink it any more.

To the others he said in my hearing,“ Go through the city after him, and strike. Don’t let your eye spare, neither have pity.Kill utterly the old man, the young man, the virgin, little children and women; but don’t come near any man on whom is the mark. Begin at my sanctuary.” Then they began at the old men who were before the house.He said to them,“ Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain. Go out!” They went out, and struck in the city.While they were killing, and I was left, I fell on my face, and cried, and said,“ Ah Lord Yahweh! Will you destroy all the residue of Israel in your pouring out of your wrath on Jerusalem?”
