A message to the envoys

3And send them to the king of Edom, the king of Moab, the king of the Ammonites, the king of Tyre, and the king of Sidon, by the hand of the messengers who are coming to Jerusalem to Zedekiah king of Judah.

4And command them to say to their masters, ‘Thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel: Thus you shall say to your masters,’

5I myself made the earth, mankind, and the 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.

6And now I have given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, my servant; and I have also given him the beasts of the field to serve him.

7All the nations will serve him, and his son, and his grandson, until the time of his own land comes; then many nations and great kings will make even him serve them.
