The siege against Jerusalem will also involve Judah.H7760H3389H5592H7478H5971H5439H4692H3063H33893On that day I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples; all who try to lift it will injure themselves severely when all the nations of the earth gather against her.H3117H7760H3389H4614H68H5971H6006H8295H8295H1471H776H6224On that day"— the LORD's declaration— "I will strike every horse with panic and its rider with madness.
