CHAP. XXI.
1 Zedekiah sendeth to Jeremiah to inquire the
event of Nebuchadnezzar's war. 3 Jeremiah
foretelleth a hard siege and miserable
captivity: 8 He counseleth the people to fall
to the Chaldeans, 11 and upbraideth the
king's house.
1 The word which came to Jeremiah
from the Lord, when king Zedekiah
sent to him Pashur the son of Melchiah,
and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the
priest, saying,
2 Inquire, I pray thee, of the Lord for
us; for Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon
maketh war against us; it may be
that the Lord will deal with us according
to all his wondrous works, that he may
go up from us.
3 ¶2; Then said Jeremiah to them, Thus
shall ye say to Zedekiah:
4 Thus saith the Lord 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
without the walls, and I will assemble
them into the midst of this city.
5 And I myself will fight against you
with an note outstretched hand and with a
strong arm, even in anger, and in fury,
and in great wrath.
6 And I will smite the inhabitants of
this city, both man and beast; they shall
die by a great pestilence.
7 And 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 Nebuchadnezzar
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.
8 ¶2; And to this people thou shalt say,
Thus saith the Lord; Behold, I set before
you the way of life, and the way of
death.
9 He that note 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 note his life shall be
to him for a prey.
10 For 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.
11 ¶2; And concerning the house of
the king of Judah, say, Hear ye the word
of the Lord;
12 O house of David, thus saith the
Lord; note note Execute judgment in the morning,
and deliver him that is made desolate
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.
13 Behold, I am against thee, O note inhabitant
of the valley, and rock of the
plain, saith the Lord; who say, Who
shall come down against us? or who
shall enter into our habitations?
14 But I will note punish you according
to the note fruit of your doings, saith the
Lord: and I will kindle a fire in the forest
thereof, and it shall devour all things
around it.
