And I will forsake the remnant of mine inheritance, and deliver them into the hand of their enemies; and they shall become a prey and a spoil to all their enemies;

Verse 14 is found in chapter 21 of 2 Kings. The prophets announce judgment upon Jerusalem and Judah because of Manasseh’s conduct. The language recalls Samaria’s fate and anticipates Jerusalem’s future destruction. The comparison with Samaria is theologically decisive: Judah, which still possesses the temple and Davidic dynasty, cannot regard these institutions as automatic guarantees of protection. Persistent unfaithfulness can bring the same kind of judgment experienced by the northern kingdom. The prophetic word interprets history before disaster arrives and establishes a connection between accumulated sin and national judgment.

und ich will die übrigen meines Erbteils verstoßen und sie geben in die Hände ihrer Feinde, daß sie ein Raub und Reißen werden aller ihrer Feinde,
Y desampararé las reliquias de mi heredad, y entregarlas he en manos de sus enemigos; y serán para saco y para robo a todos sus adversarios;
Abandonaré al remanente de mi heredad y lo entregaré en manos de sus enemigos. Serán presa y botín para todos sus enemigos,
J'abandonnerai le reste de mon héritage, et je les livrerai entre les mains de leurs ennemis; et ils deviendront le butin et la proie de tous leurs ennemis,
E abbandonerò il rimanente della mia eredità, e li darò nelle mani de’ lor nemici; e saranno in preda ed in rapina a tutti i lor nemici.
E desampararei os restantes da minha herança, entregá-los-ei na mão de seus inimigos; e servirão de presa e despojo para todos os seus inimigos;
我必撇棄我產業中的餘民,把他們交在仇敵手中,使他們成為所有仇敵的擄物和掠物,
