2“ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, ‘He who 1staysH3427 in thisH2088 cityH5892 will dieH4191 by the 2swordH2719 and by famineH7458 and by pestilenceH1698, but he who goesH3318 out to the ChaldeansH3778 will liveH2421 and haveH1961 his own 3lifeH5315 as bootyH7998 and stayH2421 aliveH2421.’
3ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, ‘ThisH2088 cityH5892 will certainlyH5414 be 4givenH5414 into the handH3027 of the armyH2428 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 and he will captureH3920 it.’”
4Then the 5officialsH8269 saidH559 to the kingH4428, “NowH4994 let thisH2088 manH376 be putH4191 to deathH4191, inasmuchH3588H5921H3651 as he is 67discouragingH7503H3027 the menH376 of warH4421 who are leftH7604 in thisH2088 cityH5892 and 8allH3605 the peopleH5971, by speakingH1696 suchH428 wordsH1697 to them; for thisH2088 manH376 9is not seekingH1875 the well-beingH7965 of thisH2088 peopleH5971 but ratherH3588H518 their harmH7463.”
