21:1 The word 1697 which came unto Jeremiah 3414 from the LORD 3068, when king 4428 Zedekiah 6667 sent 7971 8800 unto him Pashur 6583 the son 1121 of Melchiah 4441, and Zephaniah 6846 the son 1121 of Maaseiah 4641 the priest 3548, saying 559 8800,

21:2 Enquire 1875 8798, I pray thee, of the LORD 3068 for us 1157; for Nebuchadrezzar 5019 king 4428 of Babylon 894 maketh war 3898 8737 against us; if so be that the LORD 3068 will deal 6213 8799 with us according to all his wondrous works 6381 8737, that he may go up 5927 8799 from us.

21:3 Then said 559 8799 Jeremiah 3414 unto them, Thus shall ye say 559 8799 to Zedekiah 6667:

21:4 Thus saith 559 8804 the LORD 3068 God 430 of Israel 3478; Behold, I will turn back 5437 8688 the weapons 3627 of war 4421 that [are] in your hands 3027, wherewith ye fight 3898 8737 against the king 4428 of Babylon 894, and [against] the Chaldeans 3778, which besiege 6696 8802 you without 2351 the walls 2346, and I will assemble 622 8804 them into the midst 8432 of this city 5892.

21:5 And I myself will fight 3898 8738 against you with an outstretched 5186 8803 hand 3027 and with a strong 2389 arm 2220, even in anger 639, and in fury 2534, and in great 1419 wrath 7110.

21:6 And I will smite 5221 8689 the inhabitants 3427 8802 of this city 5892, both man 120 and beast 929: they shall die 4191 8799 of a great 1419 pestilence 1698.

21:7 And afterward 310, saith 5002 8803 the LORD 3068, I will deliver 5414 8799 Zedekiah 6667 king 4428 of Judah 3063, and his servants 5650, and the people 5971, and such as are left 7604 8737 in this city 5892 from the pestilence 1698, from the sword 2719, and from the famine 7458, into the hand 3027 of Nebuchadrezzar 5019 king 4428 of Babylon 894, and into the hand 3027 of their enemies 341 8802, and into the hand 3027 of those that seek 1245 8764 their life 5315: and he shall smite 5221 8689 them with the edge 6310 of the sword 2719; he shall not spare 2347 8799 them, neither have pity 2550 8799, nor have mercy 7355 8762.

21:8 And unto this people 5971 thou shalt say 559 8799, Thus saith 559 8804 the LORD 3068; Behold, I set 5414 8802 before 6440 you the way 1870 of life 2416, and the way 1870 of death 4194.

21:9 He that abideth 3427 8802 in this city 5892 shall die 4191 8799 by the sword 2719, and by the famine 7458, and by the pestilence 1698: but he that goeth out 3318 8802, and falleth 5307 8804 to the Chaldeans 3778 that besiege 6696 8802 you, he shall live 2421 8804 8675 2421 8799, and his life 5315 shall be unto him for a prey 7998.

21:10 For I have set 7760 8804 my face 6440 against this city 5892 for evil 7451, and not for good 2896, saith 5002 8803 the LORD 3068: it shall be given 5414 8735 into the hand 3027 of the king 4428 of Babylon 894, and he shall burn 8313 8804 it with fire 784.

21:11 And touching the house 1004 of the king 4428 of Judah 3063, [say], Hear 8085 8798 ye the word 1697 of the LORD 3068;

21:12 O house 1004 of David 1732, thus saith 559 8804 the LORD 3068; Execute 1777 8798 judgment 4941 in the morning 1242, and deliver 5337 8685 [him that is] spoiled 1497 8803 out of the hand 3027 of the oppressor 6231 8802, lest my fury 2534 go out 3318 8799 like fire 784, and burn 1197 8804 that none can quench 3518 8764 [it], because 6440 of the evil 7455 of your doings 4611.(Execute: Heb. Judge)

21:13 Behold, I [am] against thee, O inhabitant 3427 8802 of the valley 6010, [and] rock 6697 of the plain 4334, saith 5002 8803 the LORD 3068; which say 559 8802, Who shall come down 5181 8799 against us? or who shall enter 935 8799 into our habitations 4585?(inhabitant: Heb. inhabitress)

21:14 But I will punish 6485 8804 you according to the fruit 6529 of your doings 4611, saith 5002 8803 the LORD 3068: and I will kindle 3341 8689 a fire 784 in the forest 3293 thereof, and it shall devour 398 8804 all things round about 5439 it.(punish: Heb. visit upon)
