Having exposed their enormous crimes to view, He would pass sentence upon them: He would give Jerusalem into the hands of the Chaldeans, who would destroy the city and temple which they had polluted; level their cities and high places with the ground; slay, plunder, and enslave the people. they shall throw.24,25,31; 7:22-24; Isa 27:9shall strip.10-20; 23:26,29; Isa 3:16-24; Ho 2:3,9-13thy fair jewels.
