Jeremiah 21:3-6

3Then Jeremiah said to them, “Say this to Zedekiah:

4‘Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, “Behold, I will turn back and dull the edge of the weapons of war that are in your hands, [those] with which you fight against the king of Babylon and the Chaldeans who are besieging you outside the walls; and I will bring them into the center of this city (Jerusalem).

5I Myself will fight against you with an outstretched hand and with a strong arm in anger, in fury, and in great indignation and wrath.

6I will also strike the inhabitants of this city, both man and beast; they will die of a great virulent disease.
