Verse 14

"Thou shalt eat, but not be satisfied; and thy humiliation shall be in the midst of thee: and thou shalt put away, but shalt not save; and that which thou savest will I give up to the sword."

It is clearly a military disaster that shall humble and destroy the city of Jerusalem. "This is the old story of corrupt social, financial and moral conditions, despite the warnings of Jehovah; therefore, destruction!"[28] It is a mistake to read the prophecy of this passage apart from the specific commandments in the Pentateuch, the violation of which resulted in the judgment of Israel. Deane pointed out that the following passages strictly forbade the very conduct reproved here: Leviticus 26:25, etc., and Deuteronomy 28:29, etc.
