Jeremiah 21:3-10 (CJB) | TrulyRandomVerse

3

Yirmeyahu answered them, "Here is what you are to tell Tzidkiyahu:

4

'This is what ADONAI, the God of Isra'el, says: "I will make the weapons of war that you have in your hands ineffectual in your fight against the king of Bavel and the Kasdim who are outside the walls besieging you. Instead, I will gather them inside this city;

5

and I myself will fight against you with my hand stretched out and with a strong arm, in anger, rage and great fury.

6

I will strike the inhabitants of this city, humans and animals alike, and they will die of a terrible plague.

7

Afterwards," says ADONAI "I will hand over Tzidkiyahu king of Y'hudah, his servants, the people, and anyone remaining alive in this city after the plague, war and famine, to N'vukhadretzar king of Bavel and to their enemies, to those who seek their lives; and he will put them to the sword. He will not spare them; he will have no pity, no compassion."'

8

"And here is what you are to tell this people: 'ADONAI says: "Look! I am presenting you with the way of life and the way of death.

9

Anyone who stays in this city will die by sword, famine and plague. But he who leaves and surrenders to the Kasdim besieging you will stay alive; his own life will be his only 'spoils of war.'

10

For I have determined absolutely that this city will have evil, not good," says ADONAI. "It is going to be handed over to the king of Bavel, and he will burn it to the ground."'
