7Then afterwardH310H3651,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068, “1I will handH5414H3027 ZedekiahH6667 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, his servantsH5650, and the peopleH5971, that is, those who surviveH7604 in thisH2088 cityH5892 from the plagueH1698, the swordH2719, and the famineH7458, overH5414 to NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894, to their enemiesH340, and to those who seekH1245 their livesH5315; and he will strikeH5221 andH5221 killH5221 them with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719. He 2will not spareH2347 them norH3808 haveH2550 pityH2550 norH3808 compassionH7355.”’
8“You shall also sayH559 to thisH2088 peopleH5971, ‘ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 saysH559: “BeholdH2009, I am 3settingH5414 beforeH6440 you the wayH1870 of lifeH2425 and the wayH1870 of deathH4194. 9Anyone who 4staysH3427 in thisH2088 cityH5892 will dieH4191 by the 5swordH2719, by famineH7458, or by plagueH1698; but anyone who leavesH3318 and goesH5307 overH5307 to the ChaldeansH3778 who are besiegingH6696H5921 you will liveH2421, and he will haveH1961 his own lifeH5315 as plunderH7998. 10For I have 6setH7760 My faceH6440 against thisH2088 cityH5892 for harmH7463 and not for goodH2899,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068. “It will be 7handedH5414H3027 overH5414 to the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 and he will 8burnH8313 it with fireH784.”’
