18. The king of Judah broke his own promises and ignored the treaty with Babylonia. And so he will be punished!
19. He made a promise in my name and swore to honour the treaty. And now that he has broken that promise, my name is disgraced. He must pay for what he's done.
20. I will spread out a net to trap him. Then I will drag him to Babylon and see that he is punished for his unfaithfulness to me.
21. His best troops will be killed in battle, and the survivors will be scattered in every direction. I, the Lord, have spoken.
