Jeremiah 21:4-10
4Thus saithH559 YhwhH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478; Behold, I will turn backH5437 the weaponsH3627 of warH4421 that are in your handsH3027, wherewith ye fightH3898 against the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and against the ChaldeansH3778, which besiegeH6696 you withoutH2351 the wallsH2346, and I will assembleH622 them into the midstH8432 of this cityH5892. 5And I myself will fightH3898 against you with an outstretchedH5186 handH3027 and with a strongH2389 armH2220, even in angerH639, and in furyH2534, and in greatH1419 wrathH7110. 6And I will smiteH5221 the inhabitantsH3427 of this cityH5892, both manH120 and beastH929: they shall dieH4191 of a greatH1419 pestilenceH1698. 7And afterwardH310, saithH5002 YhwhH3068, I will deliverH5414 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 NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and into the handH3027 of their enemiesH341, and into the handH3027 of those that seekH1245 their lifeH5315: and he shall smiteH5221 them with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719; he shall not spareH2347 them, neither have pityH2550, nor have mercyH7355.
8And unto this peopleH5971 thou shalt sayH559, Thus saithH559 YhwhH3068; Behold, I setH5414 beforeH6440 you the wayH1870 of lifeH2416, and the wayH1870 of deathH4194. 9He that abidethH3427 in this cityH5892 shall dieH4191 by the swordH2719, and by the famineH7458, and by the pestilenceH1698: but he that goeth outH3318, and fallethH5307 to the ChaldeansH3778 that besiegeH6696 you, he shall liveH2421, and his lifeH5315 shall be unto him for a preyH7998. 10For I have setH7760 my faceH6440 against this cityH5892 for evilH7451, and not for goodH2896, saithH5002 YhwhH3068: it shall be givenH5414 into the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and he shall burnH8313 it with fireH784.
