Jerusalem’s Defeat Is Predicted

21King Zedekiah of Judah sent to me Pashhur son of Malchiah and the priest Zephaniah son of Maaseiah with this request:H1697H3414H3068H4428H6667H7971H6583H1121H4441H6846H1121H4641H3548H559 2"Please speak to the LORD for us, because King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylonia and his army are besieging the city. Maybe the LORD will perform one of his miracles for us and force Nebuchadnezzar to retreat."H1875H3068H1157H5019H4428H894H3898H3068H6213H6381H5927 3Then the LORD spoke to me, and I told those who had been sent to meH559H3414H559H6667 4to tell Zedekiah that the LORD, the God of Israel, had said, "Zedekiah, I am going to defeat your army that is fighting against the king of Babylonia and his army. I will pile up your soldiers' weapons in the center of the city.H559H3068H430H3478H5437H3627H4421H3027H3898H4428H894H3778H6696H2351H2346H622H8432H5892 5I will fight against you with all my might, my anger, my wrath, and my fury.H3898H5186H3027H2389H2220H639H2534H1419H7110 6I will kill everyone living in this city; people and animals alike will die of a terrible disease.H5221H3427H5892H120H929H4191H1419H1698 7But as for you, your officials, and the people who survive the war, the famine, and the disease - I will let all of you be captured by King Nebuchadnezzar and by your enemies, who want to kill you. Nebuchadnezzar will put you to death. He will not spare any of you or show mercy or pity to any of you. I, the LORD, have spoken."H310H5002H3068H5414H6667H4428H3063H5650H5971H7604H5892H1698H2719H7458H3027H5019H4428H894H3027H341H3027H1245H5315H5221H6310H2719H2347H2550H7355 8Then the LORD told me to say to the people, "Listen! I, the LORD, am giving you a choice between the way that leads to life and the way that leads to death.H5971H559H559H3068H5414H6440H1870H2416H1870H4194 9Anyone who stays in the city will be killed in war or by starvation or disease. But those who go out and surrender to the Babylonians, who are now attacking the city, will not be killed; they will at least escape with their life.H3427H5892H4191H2719H7458H1698H3318H5307H3778H6696H2421H2421H5315H7998 10I have made up my mind not to spare this city, but to destroy it. It will be given over to the king of Babylonia, and he will burn it to the ground. I, the LORD, have spoken."H7760H6440H5892H7451H2896H5002H3068H5414H3027H4428H894H8313H784

Judgment on the Royal House of Judah

11The LORD told me to give this message to the royal house of Judah, the descendants of David: "Listen to what I, the LORD, am saying. See that justice is done every day. Protect the person who is being cheated from the one who is cheating him.H1004H4428H3063H8085H1697H3068 12If you don't, the evil you are doing will make my anger burn like a fire that cannot be put out.H1004H1732H559H3068H1777H4941H1242H5337H1497H3027H6231H2534H3318H784H1197H3518H6440H7455H4611 13You, Jerusalem, are sitting high above the valleys, like a rock rising above the plain. But I will fight against you. You say that no one can attack you or break through your defenses.H3427H6010H6697H4334H5002H3068H559H5181H935H4585 14But I will punish you for what you have done. I will set your palace on fire, and the fire will burn down everything around it. I, the LORD, have spoken."H6485H6529H4611H5002H3068H3341H784H3293H398H5439
