The cities, the lesser cities up and down the land, which now are and will be inhabited when Jerusalem is destroyed, shall be wasted with the sword, as the word seems to imply. Then shall you, who are now in Chaldea, know how the goodness of God brought you hither, that you had no real cause to complain that your condition was worse than your brethren's in Judea. You shall know the truth and severity of God against sinners.
