Jerusalem Will Fall to Nebuchadrezzar

21This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, when King Zedekiah sent to him Pashhur son of Malchiah and the priest Zephaniah son of Maaseiah, saying,H1697H3414H3068H4428H6667H7971H6583H1121H4441H6846H1121H4641H3548H559 2"Please inquire of the LORD on our behalf, for King Nebuchadrezzar of Babylon is making war against us; perhaps the LORD will perform a wonderful deed for us, as he has often done, and will make him withdraw from us."H1875H3068H1157H5019H4428H894H3898H3068H6213H6381H5927 3Then Jeremiah said to them:H559H3414H559H6667 4Thus you shall say to Zedekiah: Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel: I am going to turn back the weapons of war that are in your hands and with which you are fighting against the king of Babylon and against the Chaldeans who are besieging you outside the walls; and I will bring them together into the center of this city.H559H3068H430H3478H5437H3627H4421H3027H3898H4428H894H3778H6696H2351H2346H622H8432H5892 5I myself will fight against you with outstretched hand and mighty arm, in anger, in fury, and in great wrath.H3898H5186H3027H2389H2220H639H2534H1419H7110 6And I will strike down the inhabitants of this city, both human beings and animals; they shall die of a great pestilence.H5221H3427H5892H120H929H4191H1419H1698 7Afterward, says the LORD, I will give King Zedekiah of Judah, and his servants, and the people in this city—those who survive the pestilence, sword, and famine—into the hands of King Nebuchadrezzar of Babylon, into the hands of their enemies, into the hands of those who seek their lives. He shall strike them down with the edge of the sword; he shall not pity them, or spare them, or have compassion.H310H5002H3068H5414H6667H4428H3063H5650H5971H7604H5892H1698H2719H7458H3027H5019H4428H894H3027H341H3027H1245H5315H5221H6310H2719H2347H2550H7355 8And to this people you shall say: Thus says the LORD: See, I am setting before you the way of life and the way of death.H5971H559H559H3068H5414H6440H1870H2416H1870H4194 9Those who stay in this city shall die by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence; but those who go out and surrender to the Chaldeans who are besieging you shall live and shall have their lives as a prize of war.H3427H5892H4191H2719H7458H1698H3318H5307H3778H6696H2421H2421H5315H7998 10For I have set my face against this city for evil and not for good, says the LORD: it shall be given into the hands of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire.H7760H6440H5892H7451H2896H5002H3068H5414H3027H4428H894H8313H784 11To the house of the king of Judah say: Hear the word of the LORD,H1004H4428H3063H8085H1697H3068 12O house of David! Thus says the LORD: Execute justice in the morning, and deliver from the hand of the oppressor anyone who has been robbed, or else my wrath will go forth like fire, and burn, with no one to quench it, because of your evil doings.H1004H1732H559H3068H1777H4941H1242H5337H1497H3027H6231H2534H3318H784H1197H3518H6440H7455H4611 13See, I am against you, O inhabitant of the valley, O rock of the plain, says the LORD; you who say, "Who can come down against us, or who can enter our places of refuge?"H3427H6010H6697H4334H5002H3068H559H5181H935H4585 14I will punish you according to the fruit of your doings, says the LORD; I will kindle a fire in its forest, and it shall devour all that is around it.H6485H6529H4611H5002H3068H3341H784H3293H398H5439
