Tell everyone in the land what God says about the people in Jerusalem and Israel: They're going to eat their food with anxiety and drink their water in shock, because their land is going to be stripped bare of everything. This is happening because of all the violence from the people living there.

God, you're completely in the right here, but we? We're walking around with shame written all over our faces. That goes for everyone in Judah, everyone in Jerusalem, and honestly all of Israel — whether they're close by or scattered across different countries where you sent them. And it's because we messed up against you, plain and simple.
