“The children also of Judah and the children of Jerusalem have ye sold unto the Grecians, that ye might remove them far from their border.”
The statement that the LORD has seen the evil and will rend it asunder and return it upon your own head indicates the lex talionis (law of retaliation) in operation, that the violence perpetrated against Judah will be returned upon the nations. The tearing apart suggests violent destruction. This verse promises that God will execute justice through retaliation.
