22 "Because of what happens to them, people will use their names when they call down curses on someone. All those who have been taken from Judah to Babylon will use their names in that way. They will say, 'May the Lord treat you like Zedekiah and Ahab. The king of Babylonia burned them in the fire.'

Definition(s):
Babylon (Bab-el-on): same as Babel
Judah (Joo-da): the praise of the Lord; confession
Zedekiah (Zedd-ek-eye-a): the Lord is my justice; the justice of the Lord
