3 and send them to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the
⌊Ammonites
⌋,
* and to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Sidon in
the hand of
the envoys who have come
to Jerusalem, to Zedekiah, the king of Judah.
4 And you must command them for their masters,
⌊saying
⌋,
* 'Thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, this you shall say to your masters:
5 "I have made the earth with humankind and animals
* that
are on the face of the earth by my great power and by my outstretched arm, and I give it to whomever is right in my eyes.
6 And now I myself have given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and also the animals
* of the field I have given to him to serve him.
7 And all the nations will serve him, and his son, and
⌊his grandson
⌋,
* until the coming of the time of
⌊his own
⌋* land. Then many nations and great kings will let him work.
