12 When they fast, I do not listen to their entreaties,+ and when they offer whole burnt offerings and grain offerings, I take no pleasure in them,+ for by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence,* I will do away with them.”+

2 And if they say to you, ‘Where should we go?’ you must say to them, ‘This is what Jehovah says:

“Whoever is for deadly plague, to deadly plague!

Whoever is for the sword, to the sword!+

Whoever is for the famine, to the famine!

And whoever is for the captivity, to the captivity!”’+
