2

"Pleaseh4994  ainquireh1875 of the LORDh3068 on our behalfh1157, for  bNebuchadnezzarh5019 kingh4428 of  cBabylonh894 is warringh3898a againsth5921 us; perhapsh194 the LORDh3068 will dealh6213a with us  daccording to allh3605 His  1wonderfulh6381 actsh6381, so that the enemy will withdrawh5927 from us."

Then Jeremiahh3414 saidh559 to them, "You shall sayh559 to Zedekiahh6667 as followsh3541:

4

`Thush3541 saysh559 the LORDh3068 Godh430 of Israelh3478, "Beholdh2009, I am about to  aturnh5437 backh5437 the weaponsh3627 of warh4421 whichh834 are in your handsh3027, with whichh834 you are warringh3898a againsth854 the kingh4428 of Babylonh894 and the Chaldeansh3778 who are besiegingh6696ah5921 you outsideh4480h2351 the wallh2346; and I will  bgatherh622 them into the centerh8432 of thish384 cityh5892b.

"I  aMyselfh589 will warh3898a againsth854 you with an  boutstretchedh5186 handh3027 and a mightyh2389 armh2220, even in  cangerh639 and wrathh2534 and greath1419 indignationh7110a.

6

"I will also strikeh5221 downh5221 the inhabitantsh3427 of thish384 cityh5892b, both manh120 and beasth929; they will dieh4191 of a greath1419  apestilenceh1698.

7

"Then afterwardsh310h3651," declaresh5002 the LORDh3068, " aI will giveh5414 over Zedekiahh6667 kingh4428 of Judahh3063 and his servantsh5650 and the peopleh5971a, even those who surviveh7604 in thish384 cityh5892b from the pestilenceh1698, the swordh2719 and the famineh7458, into the handh3027 of Nebuchadnezzarh5019 kingh4428 of Babylonh894, and into the handh3027 of their foesh340 and into the handh3027 of those who seekh1245 their livesh5315; and he will strikeh5221 them downh5221 with the edgeh6310 of the swordh2719. He  bwill not spareh2347 them norh3808 haveh2550 pityh2550 norh3808 compassionh7355."'

8

"You shall also sayh559 to thish2088 peopleh5971a, `Thush3541 saysh559 the LORDh3068, "Beholdh2009, I  aseth5414 beforeh6440 you the wayh1870 of lifeh2425b and the wayh1870 of deathh4194.

9

"He who  adwellsh3427 in thish384 cityh5892b will dieh4191 by the  bswordh2719 and by famineh7458 and by pestilenceh1698; but he who goesh3318 out and fallsh5307 awayh5307 to the Chaldeansh3778 who are besiegingh6696ah5921 you will liveh2421a, and he will haveh1961 his own lifeh5315 as bootyh7998.

10

"For I have  aseth7760 My faceh6440 against thish384 cityh5892b for  1harmh7463a and not for goodh2899b," declaresh5002 the LORDh3068. "It will be  bgivenh5414 into the handh3027 of the kingh4428 of Babylonh894 and he will  cburnh8313 it with fireh784."'

11

"Then say to the householdh1004 of the  akingh4428 of Judahh3063, `Hearh8085 the wordh1697 of the LORDh3068,

"Beholdh2009,  aI am againsth413 you, O  bvalleyh6010 dwellerh3427, O  1rockyh6697 plainh4334," declaresh5002 the LORDh3068, "You men who sayh559, ` cWhoh4310 will comeh5181 downh5181 againsth5921 us? Or whoh4310 will enterh935 into our habitationsh4585?'

14

"But I will punishh6485 you  aaccording to the  1resultsh6529 of your deedsh4611," declaresh5002 the LORDh3068, "And I will  bkindleh3341 a fireh784 in its foresth3293a That it may devourh398 allh3605 its environsh5439.""'
