Jeremiah 21:1-4

1This is the wordH1697 thatH834 cameH1961 toH413 JeremiahH3414 fromH854 the LORDH3068 when KingH4428 ZedekiahH6667 sentH7971 to himH413 PashhurH6583 sonH1121 of MalchijahH4441 and the priestH3548 ZephaniahH6846 sonH1121 of MaaseiahH4641. They saidH559, 2“PleaseH4994 inquireH1875 of the LORDH3068 on our behalfH1157, sinceH3588 NebuchadnezzarH50191 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 is waging warH3898 against usH5921. PerhapsH194 the LORDH3068 will performH6213 for usH854 something like allH3605 His past wondersH6381, so that Nebuchadnezzar will withdrawH5927 from usH5921.”

3But JeremiahH3414 answeredH559, “You are to tellH559H413 ZedekiahH6667 thatH3541 4this is whatH3541 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478H2005, saysH559: ‘I will turnH5437 against youH853 the weaponsH3627 of warH4421 in your handsH3027, with whichH834 youH859 are fightingH3898 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894H854 and the ChaldeansH37782 who besiegeH6696 youH5921 outsideH2351 the wallH2346, and I will assembleH622 their forces inH413 the centerH8432 of thisH2063 cityH5892.
