For if we are taken, so too will all Judea be taken: our holy things will be plundered, and he will demand their defilement out of our blood.
In context
19That was why our fathers were given over to the sword and to plunder, and fell in a great fall in front of our enemies. 20But we know no other god but him, and so we hope he will not look past us, nor past anyone of our race. 21For if we are taken, so too will all Judea be taken: our holy things will be plundered, and he will demand their defilement out of our blood. 22The butchery of our brothers, the carrying off of the land, the emptying of our inheritance — he will turn it all back onto our own heads among the nations wherever we end up as slaves, and we will be a stumbling block and a disgrace in the eyes of those who own us. 23Our slavery will not bring us into favor; the Lord our God will set it down as dishonor.
