* The word which came to Jeremiah from LORD , when king Zedekiah sent to him Pashhur the son of Malchijah , and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah , the priest , saying , * Inquire , I pray thee , of LORD for us . For Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon makes war against us . Perhaps LORD will deal with us according to all his wondrous works , that he may go up from us . * Then Jeremiah said to them , Thus ye shall say to Zedekiah : * Thus says LORD , the God of Israel : Behold , I will turn back the weapons of war that are in your hands , with which ye fight against the king of Babylon , and against the Chaldeans who besiege you , outside the walls . And I will gather * And I myself will fight against you with an outstretched hand and with a strong arm , even in anger , and in wrath , and in great indignation . * And I will smite the inhabitants of this city , both man and beast . They shall die of a great pestilence . * And afterward , says LORD , I will deliver Zedekiah king of Judah , and his servants , and the people , even such as are left in this city from the pestilence , from the sword , and from the famine , into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of * And thou shall say to this people , Thus says LORD : Behold , I set before you the way of life and the way of death . * He who abides in this city shall die by the sword , and by the famine , and by the pestilence . But he who goes out , and passes over to the Chaldeans who besiege you , he shall live , and his life shall be to him for a prey . * For I have set my face upon this city for evil , and not for good , says LORD . It shall be given into the hand of the king of Babylon , and he shall burn it with fire . * And concerning the house of the king of Judah , hear ye the word of LORD . * O house of David , thus says LORD : Execute justice in the morning , and deliver him who is robbed out of the hand of the oppressor , lest my wrath go forth like fire , and burn so that none can quench it , because of the evil of your do * Behold , I am against thee , O inhabitant of the valley , [and ] of the rock of the plain , says LORD , you who say , Who shall come down against us ? Or who shall enter into our habitations ? * And I will punish you according to the fruit of your doings , says LORD . And I will kindle a fire in her forest , and it shall devour all that is round about her .
