The word
which came unto Jeremiah
from the LORD,
when king
Zedekiah
sent
unto him Pashur
the son
of Melchiah,
and Zephaniah
the son
of Maaseiah
the priest,
saying,

Enquire,
I pray thee, of the LORD
for us;
for Nebuchadrezzar
king
of Babylon
maketh war
against us; if so be that the LORD
will deal
with us according to all his wondrous works,
that he may go up
from us.
Then said
Jeremiah
unto them, Thus shall ye say
to Zedekiah:
Thus saith
the LORD
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.

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.
And I will smite
the inhabitants
of this city,
both man
and beast:
they shall die
of a great
pestilence.
And afterward,
saith
the LORD,
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.

And unto this people
thou shalt say,
Thus saith
the LORD;
Behold, I set
before
you the way
of life,
and the way
of death.
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.

For I have set
my face
against this city
for evil,
and not for good,
saith
the LORD:
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 LORD;
O house
of David,
thus saith
the LORD;
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.
Behold, I am against thee, O inhabitant
of the valley,
and rock
of the plain,
saith
the LORD;
which say,
Who shall come down
against us? or who shall enter
into our habitations?
But I will punish
you according to the fruit
of your doings,
saith
the LORD:
and I will kindle
a fire
in the forest
thereof, and it shall devour
all things round about
it.
