Jeremiah 21:4-10

Jeremiah 21:4-10

[4] Thus saith  the LORD  God  of Israel;  Behold, I will turn back  the weapons  of war  that are in your hands,  wherewith ye fight  against the king  of Babylon,  and against the Chaldeans,  which besiege  you without  the walls,  and I will assemble  them into the midst  of this city.  [5] And I myself will fight  against you with an outstretched  hand  and with a strong  arm,  even in anger,  and in fury,  and in great  wrath.  [6] And I will smite  the inhabitants  of this city,  both man  and beast:  they shall die  of a great  pestilence.  [7] And afterward,  saith  the LORD,  I will deliver  Zedekiah  king  of Judah,  and his servants,  and the people,  and such as are left  in this city  from the pestilence,  from the sword,  and from the famine,  into the hand  of Nebuchadrezzar  king  of Babylon,  and into the hand  of their enemies,  and into the hand  of those that seek  their life:  and he shall smite  them with the edge  of the sword;  he shall not spare  them, neither have pity,  nor have mercy.  [8] And unto this people  thou shalt say,  Behold, I set  before  you the way  of life,  and the way  of death.  [9] He that abideth  in this city  shall die  by the sword,  and by the famine,  and by the pestilence:  but he that goeth out,  and falleth  to the Chaldeans  that besiege  you, he shall live,  and his life  shall be unto him for a prey.  [10] For I have set  my face  against this city  for evil,  and not for good,  saith  the LORD:  it shall be given  into the hand  of the king  of Babylon,  and he shall burn  it with fire.
