Jeremiah 21:4-7

4‘Thus says the Lord God of Israel, “Behold, I am about to 1turn back the weapons of war which are in your hands, with which you are warring against the king of Babylon and the Chaldeans who are besieging you outside the wall; and I will 2gather them into the center of this city. 5I 3Myself will war against you with an 4outstretched hand and a mighty arm, even in 5anger and wrath and great indignation. 6I will also strike down the inhabitants of this city, both man and beast; they will die of a great 6pestilence. 7Then afterwards,” declares the Lord, “7I will give over Zedekiah king of Judah and his servants and the people, even those who survive in this city from the pestilence, the sword and the famine, into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of their foes and into the hand of those who seek their lives; and he will strike them down with the edge of the sword. He 8will not spare them nor have pity nor compassion.”’
