CHAP. XXI.
He prophecieth that Zedekiah shall be taken, and the citie
burned.
1 The worde which came vnto Ieremiah from
the Lord, when king Zedekiah sent vnto him
Pashur, the sonne of Malchiah, and Zephaniah,
the sonne of Maaseiah the Priest, saying,
2 noteInquire, I pray thee, of the Lorde for vs,
(for Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel maketh
warre against vs) if so be that the Lord will deale
with vs according to all his wonderous workes,
that he may returne vp from vs.
3 Then said Ieremiah, Thus shall you say to
Zedekiah,
4 Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Behold,
I will note turne backe the weapons of warre that
are in your hands, wherewith ye fight against the
King of Babel, and against the Caldeans, which
besiege you without the walles, and I will assemble
them into the middes of this citie.
5 And I my selfe will fight against you with
an outstretched hand, & with a mighty arme, eu&ebar;
in anger and in wrath, and in great indignation.
6 And I will smite the inhabitants of this citie,
both man, and beast: they shall die of a great
pestilence.
7 And after this, sayeth the Lorde, I will deliuer
Zedekiah the King of Iudah, and his seruants,
and the people, and such as are left in
this citie, from the pestilence, from the sworde
and from the famine into the hande of Nebuchad-nezzar
King of Babel, and into the hande
of their enemies, and into the hande of those that
seeke their liues, and he shall smite them with the
edge of the sworde: he shall not spare them, neither
haue pitie nor compassion.
8 ¶2; And vnto this people thou shalt say,
Thus saith the Lorde, Beholde, I set before you
the note way of life, and the way of note death.
9 noteHe that abideth in this citie, shall dye by
the sword and by the famine, and by the pestilence:
but he that goeth out, and falleth to the
Caldeans, that besiege you, he shall liue, and his
life shalbe vnto him for a note pray.
10 For I haue set my face against this citie,
for euill and not for good, saith the Lorde: it
shalbe giuen into the hande of the King of Babel,
and he shall burne it with fire.
11 ¶2; And say vnto the house of the King of
Iudah, Heare ye the worde of the Lorde.
12 O house of Dauid, thus saith the Lorde,
note Execute iudgement note in the morning, and deliuer
the oppressed out of the hande of the oppressor,
-- --
The Kings duetie.
lest my wrath go out like fire and burne,
that none can quench it, because of the wickednes
of your workes.
13 Beholde, I come against thee, note O inhabitant
of the valley, & rocke of the plaine, saith the
Lord, which say, Who shall come downe against
vs? or who shall enter into our habitations?
14 But I wil visite you according to the fruite
of your workes, saith the Lord, and I will kindle a
fire note in the forest thereof, and it shall deuoure
rounde about it.
