12 Though they fast, I will not hear their cry, ^sand though they offer burnt offering and grain offering, I will not accept them. But I will consume them ^tby the sword, by famine, and by pestilence.”

37 I will ^yterrify ^vElam before their enemies and before those who seek their life. I will bring disaster upon them, ^zmy fierce anger, declares the Lord. ^aI will send the sword after them, until I have consumed them,

2 ^eA third part you shall burn in the fire ^fin the midst of the city, ^gwhen the days of the siege are completed. And a third part you shall take and strike with the sword all around the city. ^hAnd a third part you shall scatter to the wind, and ⁱI will unsheathe the sword after them.

12 ^dA third part of you shall die of pestilence and be consumed with famine in your midst; ^da third part shall fall by the sword all around you; ^dand a third part I will scatter to all the winds and will unsheathe the sword after them.
