The word¹⁶⁹⁷ which came unto Jeremiah³⁴¹⁴ from Yahweh,³⁰⁶⁸ when king⁴⁴²⁸ Zedekiah⁶⁶⁶⁷ sent⁷⁹⁷¹ unto him Pashur⁶⁵⁸³ the son¹¹²¹ of Melchiah,⁴⁴⁴¹ and Zephaniah⁶⁸⁴⁶ the son¹¹²¹ of Maaseiah⁴⁶⁴¹ the priest,³⁵⁴⁸ saying,⁵⁵⁹

Enquire,¹⁸⁷⁵ I pray thee, of Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ for us;¹¹⁵⁷ for Nebuchadrezzar⁵⁰¹⁹ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Babylon⁸⁹⁴ maketh war³⁸⁹⁸ against us; if so be that Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ will deal⁶²¹³ with us according to all his wondrous works,⁶³⁸¹ that he may go up⁵⁹²⁷ from us.

Then said⁵⁵⁹ Jeremiah³⁴¹⁴ unto them, Thus shall ye say⁵⁵⁹ to Zedekiah:⁶⁶⁶⁷

Thus saith⁵⁵⁹ Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ Elohim⁴³⁰ of Israel;³⁴⁷⁸ Behold, I will turn back⁵⁴³⁷ the weapons³⁶²⁷ of war⁴⁴²¹ that are in your hands,³⁰²⁷ wherewith ye fight³⁸⁹⁸ against the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Babylon,⁸⁹⁴ and against the Chaldeans,³⁷⁷⁸ which besiege⁶⁶⁹⁶ you without²³⁵¹ the walls,²³⁴⁶ and I will assemble⁶²² them into the midst⁸⁴³² of this city.⁵⁸⁹²

And I myself will fight³⁸⁹⁸ against you with an outstretched⁵¹⁸⁶ hand³⁰²⁷ and with a strong²³⁸⁹ arm,²²²⁰ even in anger,⁶³⁹ and in fury,²⁵³⁴ and in great¹⁴¹⁹ wrath.⁷¹¹⁰

And I will smite⁵²²¹ the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of this city,⁵⁸⁹² both man¹²⁰ and beast:⁹²⁹ they shall die⁴¹⁹¹ of a great¹⁴¹⁹ pestilence.¹⁶⁹⁸

And afterward,³¹⁰ saith⁵⁰⁰² Yahweh,³⁰⁶⁸ I will deliver⁵⁴¹⁴ Zedekiah⁶⁶⁶⁷ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ and his servants,⁵⁶⁵⁰ and the people,⁵⁹⁷¹ and such as are left⁷⁶⁰⁴ in this city⁵⁸⁹² from the pestilence,¹⁶⁹⁸ from the sword,²⁷¹⁹ and from the famine,⁷⁴⁵⁸ into the hand³⁰²⁷ of Nebuchadrezzar⁵⁰¹⁹ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Babylon,⁸⁹⁴ and into the hand³⁰²⁷ of their enemies,³⁴¹ and into the hand³⁰²⁷ of those that seek¹²⁴⁵ their life:⁵³¹⁵ and he shall smite⁵²²¹ them with the edge⁶³¹⁰ of the sword;²⁷¹⁹ he shall not spare²³⁴⁷ them, neither have pity,²⁵⁵⁰ nor have mercy.⁷³⁵⁵

And unto this people⁵⁹⁷¹ thou shalt say,⁵⁵⁹ Thus saith⁵⁵⁹ Yahweh;³⁰⁶⁸ Behold, I set⁵⁴¹⁴ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ you the way¹⁸⁷⁰ of life,²⁴¹⁶ and the way¹⁸⁷⁰ of death.⁴¹⁹⁴

Deuteronomy 11:26; Deuteronomy 30:15

He that abideth³⁴²⁷ in this city⁵⁸⁹² shall die⁴¹⁹¹ by the sword,²⁷¹⁹ and by the famine,⁷⁴⁵⁸ and by the pestilence:¹⁶⁹⁸ but he that goeth out,³³¹⁸ and falleth⁵³⁰⁷ to the Chaldeans³⁷⁷⁸ that besiege⁶⁶⁹⁶ you, he shall live,²⁴²¹ and his life⁵³¹⁵ shall be unto him for a prey.⁷⁹⁹⁸

For I have set⁷⁷⁶⁰ my face⁶⁴⁴⁰ against this city⁵⁸⁹² for evil,⁷⁴⁵¹ and not for good,²⁸⁹⁶ saith⁵⁰⁰² Yahweh:³⁰⁶⁸ it shall be given⁵⁴¹⁴ into the hand³⁰²⁷ of the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Babylon,⁸⁹⁴ and he shall burn⁸³¹³ it with fire.⁷⁸⁴

And touching the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ say, Hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ ye the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of Yahweh;³⁰⁶⁸

O house¹⁰⁰⁴ of David,¹⁷³² thus saith⁵⁵⁹ Yahweh;³⁰⁶⁸ Execute¹⁷⁷⁷ judgment⁴⁹⁴¹ in the morning,¹²⁴² and deliver⁵³³⁷ him that is spoiled¹⁴⁹⁷ out of the hand³⁰²⁷ of the oppressor,⁶²³¹ lest my fury²⁵³⁴ go out³³¹⁸ like fire,⁷⁸⁴ and burn¹¹⁹⁷ that none can quench³⁵¹⁸ it, because⁶⁴⁴⁰ of the evil⁷⁴⁵⁵ of your doings.⁴⁶¹¹

Behold, I am against thee, O inhabitant³⁴²⁷ of the valley,⁶⁰¹⁰ and rock⁶⁶⁹⁷ of the plain,⁴³³⁴ saith⁵⁰⁰² Yahweh;³⁰⁶⁸ which say,⁵⁵⁹ Who shall come down⁵¹⁸¹ against us? or who shall enter⁹³⁵ into our habitations?⁴⁵⁸⁵

But I will punish⁶⁴⁸⁵ you according to the fruit⁶⁵²⁹ of your doings,⁴⁶¹¹ saith⁵⁰⁰² Yahweh:³⁰⁶⁸ and I will kindle³³⁴¹ a fire⁷⁸⁴ in the forest³²⁹³ thereof, and it shall devour³⁹⁸ all things round about⁵⁴³⁹ it.
