The word ¹⁶⁹⁷ which came unto Jeremiah ³⁴¹⁴ from the LORD ³⁰⁶⁸ , when king ⁴⁴²⁸ Zedekiah ⁶⁶⁶⁷ sent ^{7971 , 8800} unto him Pashur ⁶⁵⁸³ the son ¹¹²¹ of Melchiah ⁴⁴⁴¹ , and Zephaniah ⁶⁸⁴⁶ the son ¹¹²¹ of Maaseiah ⁴⁶⁴¹ the priest ³⁵⁴⁸ , saying ^{559 , 8800} ,

Enquire ^{1875 , 8798} , I pray thee, of the LORD ³⁰⁶⁸ for us ¹¹⁵⁷ ; for Nebuchadrezzar ⁵⁰¹⁹ king ⁴⁴²⁸ of Babylon ⁸⁹⁴ maketh war ^{3898 , 8737} against us; if so be that the LORD ³⁰⁶⁸ will deal ^{6213 , 8799} with us according to all his wondrous works ^{6381 , 8737} , that he may go up ^{5927 , 8799} from us.

Then said ^{559 , 8799} Jeremiah ³⁴¹⁴ unto them, Thus shall ye say ^{559 , 8799} to Zedekiah ⁶⁶⁶⁷ :

Thus saith ^{559 , 8804} the LORD ³⁰⁶⁸ God ⁴³⁰ of Israel ³⁴⁷⁸ ; Behold, I will turn back ^{5437 , 8688} the weapons ³⁶²⁷ of war ⁴⁴²¹ that are in your hands ³⁰²⁷ , wherewith ye fight ^{3898 , 8737} against the king ⁴⁴²⁸ of Babylon ⁸⁹⁴ , and against the Chaldeans ³⁷⁷⁸ , which besiege ^{6696 , 8802} you without ²³⁵¹ the walls ²³⁴⁶ , and I will assemble ^{622 , 8804} them into the midst ⁸⁴³² of this city ⁵⁸⁹² .

And I myself will fight ^{3898 , 8738} against you with an outstretched ^{5186 , 8803} hand ³⁰²⁷ and with a strong ²³⁸⁹ arm ²²²⁰ , even in anger ⁶³⁹ , and in fury ²⁵³⁴ , and in great ¹⁴¹⁹ wrath ⁷¹¹⁰ .

And afterward ³¹⁰ , saith ^{5002 , 8803} the LORD ³⁰⁶⁸ , I will deliver ^{5414 , 8799} Zedekiah ⁶⁶⁶⁷ king ⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah ³⁰⁶³ , and his servants ⁵⁶⁵⁰ , and the people ⁵⁹⁷¹ , and such as are left ^{7604 , 8737} in this city ⁵⁸⁹² from the pestilence ¹⁶⁹⁸ , from the sword ²⁷¹⁹ , and from the famine ⁷⁴⁵⁸ , into the hand ³⁰²⁷ of Nebuchadrezzar ⁵⁰¹⁹ king ⁴⁴²⁸ of Babylon ⁸⁹⁴ , and into the hand ³⁰²⁷ of their enemies ^{341 , 8802} , and into the hand ³⁰²⁷ of those that seek ^{1245 , 8764} their life ⁵³¹⁵ : and he shall smite ^{5221 , 8689} them with the edge ⁶³¹⁰ of the sword ²⁷¹⁹ ; he shall not spare ^{2347 , 8799} them, neither have pity ^{2550 , 8799} , nor have mercy ^{7355 , 8762} .

And unto this people ⁵⁹⁷¹ thou shalt say ^{559 , 8799} , Thus saith ^{559 , 8804} the LORD ³⁰⁶⁸ ; Behold, I set ^{5414 , 8802} before ⁶⁴⁴⁰ you the way ¹⁸⁷⁰ of life ²⁴¹⁶ , and the way ¹⁸⁷⁰ of death ⁴¹⁹⁴ .

He that abideth ^{3427 , 8802} in this city ⁵⁸⁹² shall die ^{4191 , 8799} by the sword ²⁷¹⁹ , and by the famine ⁷⁴⁵⁸ , and by the pestilence ¹⁶⁹⁸ : but he that goeth out ^{3318 , 8802} , and falleth ^{5307 , 8804} to the Chaldeans ³⁷⁷⁸ that besiege ^{6696 , 8802} you, he shall live ^{2421 , 8804 , 8675 , 2421 , 8799} , and his life ⁵³¹⁵ shall be unto him for a prey ⁷⁹⁹⁸ .

For I have set ^{7760 , 8804} my face ⁶⁴⁴⁰ against this city ⁵⁸⁹² for evil ⁷⁴⁵¹ , and not for good ²⁸⁹⁶ , saith ^{5002 , 8803} the LORD ³⁰⁶⁸ : it shall be given ^{5414 , 8735} into the hand ³⁰²⁷ of the king ⁴⁴²⁸ of Babylon ⁸⁹⁴ , and he shall burn ^{8313 , 8804} it with fire ⁷⁸⁴ .

And touching the house ¹⁰⁰⁴ of the king ⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah ³⁰⁶³ , say , Hear ^{8085 , 8798} ye the word ¹⁶⁹⁷ of the LORD ³⁰⁶⁸ ;

O house ¹⁰⁰⁴ of David ¹⁷³² , thus saith ^{559 , 8804} the LORD ³⁰⁶⁸ ; Execute ^{1777 , 8798} judgment ⁴⁹⁴¹ in the morning ¹²⁴² , and deliver ^{5337 , 8685} him that is spoiled ^{1497 , 8803} out of the hand ³⁰²⁷ of the oppressor ^{6231 , 8802} , lest my fury ²⁵³⁴ go out ^{3318 , 8799} like fire ⁷⁸⁴ , and burn ^{1197 , 8804} that none can quench ^{3518 , 8764} it , because ⁶⁴⁴⁰ of the evil ⁷⁴⁵⁵ of your doings ⁴⁶¹¹ . [Execute: Heb. Judge]

Behold, I am against thee, O inhabitant ^{3427 , 8802} of the valley ⁶⁰¹⁰ , and rock ⁶⁶⁹⁷ of the plain ⁴³³⁴ , saith ^{5002 , 8803} the LORD ³⁰⁶⁸ ; which say ^{559 , 8802} , Who shall come down ^{5181 , 8799} against us? or who shall enter ^{935 , 8799} into our habitations ⁴⁵⁸⁵ ? [inhabitant: Heb. inhabitress]

But I will punish ^{6485 , 8804} you according to the fruit ⁶⁵²⁹ of your doings ⁴⁶¹¹ , saith ^{5002 , 8803} the LORD ³⁰⁶⁸ : and I will kindle ^{3341 , 8689} a fire ⁷⁸⁴ in the forest ³²⁹³ thereof, and it shall devour ^{398 , 8804} all things round about ⁵⁴³⁹ it. [punish: Heb. visit upon]
