[1] The word which came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, when King Zedekiah sent to him Pashhur the son of Malchijah, and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah, the priest, saying, [2] “Please inquire of Yahweh for us; for Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon makes war against us. Perhaps Yahweh will deal with us according to all his wondrous works, that he may withdraw from us.” [3] Then Jeremiah said to them, “Tell Zedekiah: [4] ‘Yahweh, the God of Israel says, “Behold, I will turn back the weapons of war that are in your hands, with which you fight against the king of Babylon, and against the Chaldeans who besiege you outside the walls; and I will gather them into the middle of this city. [5] I myself will fight against you with an outstretched hand and with a strong arm, even in anger, in wrath, and in great indignation. [6] I will strike the inhabitants of this city, both man and animal. They will die of a great pestilence. [7] Afterward,” says Yahweh, “I will deliver Zedekiah king of Judah, his servants, and the people, even those who are left in this city from the pestilence, from the sword, and from the famine, into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those who seek their life. He will strike them with the edge of the sword. He will not spare them, have pity, or have mercy.”’ [8] “You shall say to this people, ‘Yahweh says: “Behold, I set before you the way of life and the way of death. [9] He who remains in this city will die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, but he who goes out and passes over to the Chaldeans who besiege you, he will live, and he will escape with his life. [10] For I have set my face on this city for evil, and not for good,” says Yahweh. “It will be given into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will burn it with fire.”’ [11] “Concerning the house of the king of Judah, hear Yahweh’s word: [12] House of David, Yahweh says,
‘Execute justice in the morning,
and deliver him who is robbed out of the hand of the oppressor,
lest my wrath go out like fire,
and burn so that no one can quench it,
because of the evil of your doings.
[13] Behold, I am against you, O inhabitant of the valley,
and of the rock of the plain,’ says Yahweh.
‘You that say, “Who would come down against us?”
or, “Who would enter into our homes?”
[14] I will punish you according to the fruit of your doings,’ says Yahweh;
‘and I will kindle a fire in her forest,
and it will devour all that is around her.’”

Jerusalem Besieged

[1] The word H1697 which H834 came unto Jeremiah H3414 from the Lord, H3068 when king H4428 Zedekiah H6667 sent H7971 H853 unto H413 him Pashur H6583 the son H1121 of Melchiah, H4441 and Zephaniah H6846 the son H1121 of Maaseiah H4641 the priest, H3548 saying, H559 [2] Enquire, H1875 I pray thee, of the Lord H3068 for us; H1157 for Nebuchadrezzar H5019 king H4428 of Babylon H894 maketh war H3898 against H5921 us; if so be that the Lord H3068 will deal H6213 with H854 us according to all his wondrous works, H6381 that he may go up H5927 from us. [3] Then said H559 Jeremiah H3414 unto H413 them, Thus shall ye say H559 to Zedekiah: H6667 [4] Thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H3068 God H430 of Israel; H3478 Behold, I will turn back H5437 H853 the weapons H3627 of war H4421 that are in your hands, H3027 wherewith ye fight H3898 against H5921 the king H4428 of Babylon, H894 and against the Chaldeans, H3778 which H834 besiege H6696 you without H2351 the walls, H2346 and I will assemble H622 them into the midst H8432 of this city. H5892 [5] And I myself will fight H3898 against you with an outstretched H5186 hand H3027 and with a strong H2389 arm, H2220 even in anger, H639 and in fury, H2534 and in great H1419 wrath. H7110 [6] And I will smite H5221 H853 the inhabitants H3427 of this city, H5892 both man H120 and beast: H929 they shall die H4191 of a great H1419 pestilence. H1698 [7] And afterward, H310 saith H5002 the Lord, H3068 I will deliver H5414 H853 Zedekiah H6667 king H4428 of Judah, H3063 and his servants, H5650 and the people, H5971 and such as are left H7604 in this city H5892 from H4480 the pestilence, H1698 from H4480 the sword, H2719 and from the famine, H7458 into the hand H3027 of Nebuchadrezzar H5019 king H4428 of Babylon, H894 and into the hand H3027 of their enemies, H341 and into the hand H3027 of those that seek H1245 their life: H5315 and he shall smite H5221 them with the edge H6310 of the sword; H2719 he shall H2347 not H3808 spare H2347 them, neither have pity, H2550 nor have mercy. H7355 [8] And unto this people H5971 thou shalt say, H559 Thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord; H3068 Behold, I set H5414 before H6440 you the way H1870 of life, H2416 and the way H1870 of death. H4194 [9] He that abideth H3427 in this city H5892 shall die H4191 by the sword, H2719 and by the famine, H7458 and by the pestilence: H1698 but he that goeth out, H3318 and falleth H5307 to the Chaldeans H3778 that besiege H6696 you, he shall live, H2421 H2421 and his life H5315 shall be unto him for a prey. H7998 [10] For I have set H7760 my face H6440 against this city H5892 for evil, H7451 and not for good, H2896 saith H5002 the Lord: H3068 it shall be given H5414 into the hand H3027 of the king H4428 of Babylon, H894 and he shall burn H8313 it with fire. H784 [11] And touching the house H1004 of the king H4428 of Judah, H3063 say, Hear H8085 ye the word H1697 of the Lord; H3068 [12] O house H1004 of David, H1732 thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord; H3068 Execute H1777§ judgment H4941 in the morning, H1242 and deliver H5337 him that is spoiled H1497 out of the hand H3027 of the oppressor, H6231 lest my fury H2534 go out H3318 like fire, H784 and burn H1197 that none can quench H3518 it, because H6440 of the evil H7455 of your doings. H4611 [13] Behold, I am against thee, O inhabitant§ H3427 of the valley, H6010 and rock H6697 of the plain, H4334 saith H5002 the Lord; H3068 which say, H559 Who shall come down H5181 against H5921 us? or who shall enter H935 into our habitations? H4585 [14] But I will punish H6485§ you according to the fruit H6529 of your doings, H4611 saith H5002 the Lord: H3068 and I will kindle H3341 a fire H784 in the forest H3293 thereof, and it shall devour H398 all H3605 things round about H5439 it.
