Jeremiah 21:1-7

1The wordH1697 that came unto JeremiahH3414 from Jehovah, when kingH4428 ZedekiahH6667 sentH7971 unto him Pashur the sonH1121 of Malchijah, and ZephaniahH6846 the sonH1121 of MaaseiahH4641, the priestH3548, sayingH559,

2Inquire, I pray thee, of Jehovah for us; for Nebuchadrezzar the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 maketh war against us; if so be that Jehovah will deal with us according to all his marvellous works, that he may goH5927 up from us.

3And JeremiahH3414 saidH559 unto them, ThusH3541 shall ye sayH559 to ZedekiahH6667:

4ThusH3541 saith Jehovah the 1GodH430 of IsraelH3478: Behold, I will turnH5437 back the weaponsH3627 of warH4421 that are in your handsH3027, with which ye fightH3898 against the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and against the ChaldeansH3778 who besiege you, outside the wallsH2346, and I will assemble them into the midstH8432 of this cityH5892.

5And I myself will fightH3898 against you with a stretched-outH5186 handH3027, and with a strongH2389 armH2220, and in angerH639, and in fury, and in greatH1419 wrathH2534.

6And I will smite the inhabitantsH3427 of this cityH5892, both manH120 and beast: they shall dieH4191 of a greatH1419 pestilenceH1698.

7And afterwards, saith Jehovah, I will giveH5414 ZedekiahH6667 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and his servantsH5650, and the peopleH5971, and such as are leftH7604 in this cityH5892 from the pestilenceH1698, from the swordH2719, and from the famineH7458, into the handH3027 of Nebuchadrezzar the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and into the handH3027 of their enemiesH341, and into the handH3027 of those that seekH1245 their lifeH5315, and he shall smite them with the edge of the swordH2719: he shall not spareH2550 them, neither have pityH2347, nor have mercyH7355.
