* "
Thus you shall say to Zedeki '
ah , `
Thus says the LORD ,
the God of Israel :
Behold ,
I will turn back the weapons of war which are in your hands and with which you are fighting against the king of Babylon and against the Chalde '
ans who are besieging you outside the walls ;
and I will bring them together into the midst of this city .
*
I myself will fight against you with outstretched hand and strong arm ,
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 .
*
Afterward ,
says the LORD ,
I will give Zedeki '
ah king of Judah ,
and his servants ,
and the people in this city who survive the pestilence ,
sword ,
and famine ,
into the hand of Nebuchadrez '
zar king of Babylon and into the hand of their enemies ,
into the hand of those who seek their lives .
He shall smite them with the edge of the sword ;
he shall not pity them ,
or spare them ,
or have compassion .'
