But the Lord laughs at those who do evil. He knows the day is coming when he will judge them.

Kill all Babylon’s strongest warriors. Let them die in battle. How terrible it will be for them! Their time to be judged has come. Now they will be punished.

King Zedekiah, your day has come. You are an unholy and evil prince in Israel. The day for you to be punished is here.

You didn’t recognize the time when God came to you. So your enemies will smash you to the ground. They will destroy you and all the people inside your walls. They will not leave one stone on top of another.”

“ God has caused my family to desert me. The people I used to know are now strangers to me.My relatives have gone away. My closest friends have forgotten me.My guests and my female servants think of me as a stranger. They look at me as if I were an outsider.I send for my servant, but he doesn’t answer. He doesn’t come, even though I beg him to.My wife can’t stand the way my breath smells. My own family won’t have anything to do with me.Even little children mock me. When I appear, they make fun of me.All my close friends hate me. Those I love have turned against me.

Lord, remember what the people of Edom did on the day Jerusalem fell.“ Tear it down!” they cried.“ Tear it down to the ground!”

Outsiders entered the gates of Jerusalem. They cast lots to see what each one would get. Strangers carried off its wealth. When that happened, you just stood there and did nothing. You were like one of them.That was a time of trouble for your relatives. So you shouldn’t have been happy about what happened to them. The people of Judah were destroyed. So you should not have been happy about it. You should not have laughed at them so much when they were in trouble.You should not have marched through the gates of my people’s city when they were in trouble. You shouldn’t have been happy about what happened to them. You should not have stolen their wealth when they were in trouble.You waited where the roads cross. You wanted to cut down those who were running away. You should not have done that. You handed over to their enemies those who were still left alive. You should not have done that. They were in trouble.“ The day of the Lord is near for all the nations. Others will do to you what you have done to them. You will be paid back for what you have done.

He said,“ I wish you had known today what would bring you peace! But now it is hidden from your eyes.

This temple will become a pile of stones. All those who pass by it will be shocked. They will make fun of it. And they will say,‘ Why has the Lord done a thing like this to this land and temple?’

The whole land will be burned up. Nothing but salt and sulfur will be left. Nothing will be planted there. Nothing will grow there. In fact, nothing will even start to grow there. The land will be like Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboyim after they were destroyed. The Lord wiped out those cities because he was very angry.All the nations will ask,“ Why has the Lord done this to the land? What could have made him so very angry?”

When they got closer to where he lived, they could see him. But they could hardly recognize him. They began to weep out loud. They tore their robes and sprinkled dust on their heads.Then they sat down on the ground with him for seven days and seven nights. No one said a word to him. That’s because they saw how much he was suffering.

So their land will become a horrible thing. People will make fun of it again and again. All those who pass by it will be shocked. They will shake their heads.
