Jeremiah 21:11

1
The word which
came unto Jeremiah from the
L
ORD
, when king Zedekiah sent unto him Pashur the son of Melchiah, and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest, saying,
2
Enquire, I pray thee, of the
L
ORD
for us; for Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon maketh war against us; if so be that the
L
ORD
will deal with us according to all his wondrous works, that he may go up from us.
3
Then said Jeremiah unto them, Thus shall ye say to Zedekiah:
4
Thus saith the
L
ORD
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
L
ORD
, 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, Thus saith the
L
ORD
; 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
L
ORD
: it shall be given into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire.
And touching the house of the king of Judah,
say
, Hear ye the word of the
L
ORD
;
12
O house of David, thus saith the
L
ORD
; Execute judgment in the morning, and deliver
him that is
spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor, lest my fury go out like fire, and burn that none can quench
it
, because of the evil of your doings.
13
Behold, I
am
against thee, O inhabitant of the valley,
and
rock of the plain, saith the
L
ORD
; which say, Who shall come down against us? or who shall enter into our habitations?
14
But I will punish you according to the fruit of your doings, saith the
L
ORD
: and I will kindle a fire in the forest thereof, and it shall devour all things round about it.
