Jeremiah 32:24

Lo! the earthworks! they have entered the city, to capture it, And the city, hath been given into the hand of the Chaldeans, who are fighting against it, because of the sword and the famine and the pestilence,—And so what thou didst speak, hath come to pass, And there thou art looking on!

25Yet, thou thyself, saidst unto me, O My Lord, Yahweh, Buy thee the field for silver And take in attestation, witnesses,—Whereas, the city, hath been given into the hand of the Chaldeans!
