Book 24 Jeremiah Chapter 021

 

021:001The word which came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, when king
Zedekiah sent unto him Pashur the son of Melchiah, and
Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest, saying,

 

021:002Enquire, I pray thee, of the LORD for us; for Nebuchadrezzar
king of Babylon maketh war against us; if so be that the LORD
will deal with us according to all his wondrous works, that he
may go up from us.

 

021:003Then said Jeremiah unto them, Thus shall ye say to Zedekiah:

 

021:004Thus saith the LORD God of Israel; Behold, I will turn back
the weapons of war that are in your hands, wherewith ye fight
against the king of Babylon, and against the Chaldeans, which
besiege you without the walls, and I will assemble them into
the midst of this city.

 

021:005And I myself will fight against you with an outstretched hand
and with a strong arm, even in anger, and in fury, and in
great wrath.

 

021:006And I will smite the inhabitants of this city, both man and
beast: they shall die of a great pestilence.

 

021:007And afterward, saith the LORD, I will deliver Zedekiah king of
Judah, and his servants, and the people, and such as are left
in this city from the pestilence, from the sword, and from the
famine, into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and
into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those
that seek their life: and he shall smite them with the edge of
the sword; he shall not spare them, neither have pity, nor
have mercy.

 

021:008And unto this people thou shalt say, Thus saith the LORD;
Behold, I set before you the way of life, and the way of
death.

 

021:009He that abideth in this city shall die by the sword, and by
the famine, and by the pestilence: but he that goeth out, and
falleth to the Chaldeans that besiege you, he shall live, and
his life shall be unto him for a prey.

 

021:010For I have set my face against this city for evil, and not for
good, saith the LORD: it shall be given into the hand of the
king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire.

 

021:011And touching the house of the king of Judah, say, Hear ye the
word of the LORD;

 

021:012O house of David, thus saith the LORD; Execute judgment in the
morning, and deliver him that is spoiled out of the hand of
the oppressor, lest my fury go out like fire, and burn that
none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.

 

021:013Behold, I am against thee, O inhabitant of the valley, and
rock of the plain, saith the LORD; which say, Who shall come
down against us? or who shall enter into our habitations?

 

021:014But I will punish you according to the fruit of your doings,
saith the LORD: and I will kindle a fire in the forest
thereof, and it shall devour all things round about it.
