2 It will happen when they ask you, ‘Where shall we go out?’ then you shall tell them, ‘The LORD says: “Such as are for death, to death; such as are for the sword, to the sword; such as are for the famine, to the famine; and such as are for captivity, to captivity.”’
And it will be that they will say to you where? will we go out and you will say to them thus he says Yahweh [those] who [are] for death to death and [those] who [are] for the sword to the sword and [those] who [are] for the famine to the famine and [those] who [are] for captivity to captivity.

Woe! to me O mother my that you gave birth to me a man of strife and a man of contention to all the land not I have lent and not people have lent to me all of him [are] cursing me.
11 The LORD said, “Most certainly I will strengthen you for good. Most certainly I will cause the enemy to make supplication to you in the time of evil and in the time of affliction.
He said Yahweh if not (I will set free you *Q(K)*) for good if not - I will cause to plead with you in a time evil and in a time of distress the enemy.
12 Can one break iron, even iron from the north, and bronze?

18 Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable, which refuses to be healed? Will you indeed be to me as a deceitful brook, like waters that fail?
Why? is it pain my perpetuity and wound my incurable it has refused to be healed certainly you are to me like a deceitful thing waters [which] not they are reliable.
19 Therefore the LORD says, “If you return, then I will bring you again, that you may stand before me; and if you take out the precious from the vile, you will be as my mouth. They will return to you, but you will not return to them.
Therefore thus he says Yahweh if you will return and I will restore you before me you will stand and if you will bring forth [the] precious from [the] worthless like mouth my you will be they will return they to you and you not you must return to them.
