8But the army of the Chaldeans pursued the king and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho, and all his army was scattered from him.Lamentations 4:18-19
18 cThey dogged our stepsso that we could not walk in our streets;
dour end drew near; our days were numbered,
for our end had come.
19 Our pursuers were eswifter
than the eagles in the heavens;
they chased us on the mountains;
they lay in wait for us in the wilderness.
Amos 9:1-4
The Destruction of Israel
1I saw the Lord standing beside ▼▼Or on
the altar, and he said: g“Strike the capitals until hthe thresholds ishake,
jand shatter them on the heads of all the people; ▼
▼Hebrew all of them
and those who are left of them I will kill with the sword;
lnot one of them shall flee away;
not one of them shall escape.
2 m“If they dig into Sheol,
from there shall my hand take them;
nif they climb up to heaven,
from there I will bring them down.
3If they hide themselves on othe top of Carmel,
from there I will search them out and take them;
pand if they hide from my sight at the bottom of the sea,
there I will command the serpent, and it shall bite them.
4 qAnd if they go into captivity before their enemies,
there I will command the sword, and it shall kill them;
rand I will fix my eyes upon them
for evil and not for good.”
