Perhaps the LORD will deal with us according to all his wondrous works, that he may withdraw from us.”3Then Jeremiah said to them, “Tell Zedekiah:4‘The LORD, the God of Israel says, “Behold, I will turn back the weapons of war that are in your hands, with which you fight against the king of Babylon, and against the Chaldeans who besiege you outside the walls; and I will gather them into the middle of this city.5I myself will fight against you with an outstretched hand and with a strong arm, even in anger, in wrath, and in great indignation.6I will strike the inhabitants of this city, both man and animal.

He will not spare them, have pity, or have mercy.”’8“You shall say to this people, ‘The LORD says: “Behold, I set before you the way of life and the way of death.9He who remains in this city will die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, but he who goes out and passes over to the Chaldeans who besiege you, he will live, and he will escape with his life.10For I have set my face on this city for evil, and not for good,” says the LORD. “It will be given into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will burn it with fire.”’11“Concerning the house of the king of Judah, hear the LORD’s word:12House of David, the LORD says,13Behold, I am against you, O inhabitant of the valley,14I will punish you according to the fruit of your doings,’ says the LORD;Previous chapterNext chapter
