  • English: “My people in Judah, the army of Babylon has caused you to suffer greatly
    as though you were grain that was threshed and winnowed/thrown up into the air for the wind to blow away the chaff.
    But now I have told you what the Commander of the armies of angels the God whom we Israelis worship, told me about Babylon.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
