Jer Jeremiah, chapter Book of Jeremiah, chapter 21
The word that has been to Jeremiah from YHWH, in King Zedekiah’s sending to him Pashhur son of Malchiah and Zephaniah son of Maaseiah the priest, saying, 1Ch 24:9“Please inquire of YHWH for us, for Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has fought against us; perhaps YHWH deals with us according to all His wonders, and causes him to go up from off us.” And Jeremiah says to them, “Thus yöu say to Zedekiah, Thus said YHWH, God of Israel: Behold, I am turning around the weapons of battle || That [are] in yöur hand, || With which yöu fight the king of Babylon, || And the Chaldeans, who are laying siege against yöu, || At the outside of the wall, || And I have gathered them into the midst of this city, And I have fought against yöu, || With an outstretched hand, and with a strong arm, || And in anger, and in fury, and in great wrath, Exo 6:6; Deu 5:15; Jer 32:21And I have struck the inhabitants of this city, || Both man and beast, || They die by a great pestilence. And after this,” || A declaration of YHWH, || “I give Zedekiah king of Judah, || And his servants, and the people, || And those 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 seeking their life, || And he has struck them by the mouth of the sword, || He has no pity on them, || Nor does he spare, nor does he have mercy.” Jer 20:4; Jer 34:2; Exo 4:19“And you say to this people, Thus said YHWH: Behold, I am setting before yöu the way of life, || And the way of death! Whoever is abiding in this city—dies, || By sword, and by famine, and by pestilence, || And whoever is going forth, || And has fallen to the Chaldeans, || Who are laying siege against yöu—lives, || And his life has been for a spoil to him. Jer 38:2; Jer 45:5For I have set My face against this city for calamity, || And not for good,” || A declaration of YHWH. “It is given into the hand of the king of Babylon, || And he has burned it with fire. Lev 17:10; Jer 32:29; Jer 34:2And as for the house of the king of Judah,” || Hear a word of YHWH; O house of David, thus said YHWH: “Decide judgment in the morning, || And deliver the plundered from the hand of the oppressor, || Lest My fury go forth as fire, || And has burned, and none is quenching, || Because of the evil of yöur doings. Jer 4:4; Jer 22:3Behold, I [am] against you,” || A declaration of YHWH, || “O inhabitant of the valley, rock of the plain, || Who are saying, Who comes down against us? And who comes into our habitations? Jer 49:4; Ezk 11:15And I have laid a charge against yöu, || According to the fruit of yöur doings,” || A declaration of YHWH, || “And I have kindled a fire in its forest, || And it has consumed all its outskirts!”Jer 17:27; Jer 22:7
