CHAP. XXI.
1 Zedekiah sendeth to Ieremiah to inquire the
euent of Nebuchadrezzars warre. 3 Ieremiah
foretelleth a hard siege and miserable
captiuitie. 8 He counselleth the people to
fall to the Caldeans, 11 and vpbraideth
the kings house.
1
The word which came vnto
Ieremiah from the
Lord, when king Zedekiah
sent vnto him
Pashur the sonne of Melchiah,
and Zephaniah the sonne of
Maaseiah the priest, saying;
2
Enquire, I pray thee, of the
Lord for vs (for Nebuchad-rezzar
king of Babylon maketh warre against
vs) if so be that the Lord will
deale with vs, according to all his
Life, and death.
wondrous workes, that he may goe vp
from vs.
3
¶ Then saide Ieremiah vnto
them. Thus shall yee say to Zedekiah,
4
Thus saith the Lord God
of Israel; Behold, I will turne backe
the weapons of warre that are in your
hands, wherewith yee fight against the
king of Babylon, and against the Caldeans,
which besiege you without the
walles, and I will assemble them into
the middest of this citie.
5
And I myselfe will fight against
you with an note out stretched hand, and
with a strong arme, euen in anger, and
in furie, and in great wrath.
6
And I will smite the inhabitants
of this citie both man and beast: they
shall die of a great pestilence.
7
And afterward, saith the Lord,
I will deliuer Zedekiah king of Iudah,
and his seruants, and the people,
and such as are left in this citie 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 seeke their life, and
and he shall smite them with the edge
of the sword: hee shall not spare them,
neither haue pitie, nor haue mercy.
8
¶ And vnto 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 citie, shall
die 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 shall be
vnto him, note for a pray.
10
For I haue set my face against
this citie for euill and not for good, saith
the Lord; it shall be giuen into the
hand of the king of Babylon, and he
shall burne it with fire.
11
¶ And touching the house of the
king of Iudah, say; Heare yee the word
of the Lord.
12
Oh house of Dauid, thus saith
the Lord, note note Execute iudgement in
the morning, and deliuer him that is
spoiled, out of the hand of the oppressour,
lest my furie goe out like fire, and
burne, that none can quench it, because
of the euill of your doings.
13
Behold, I am against thee, O note inhabitant
of the valley, and rocke of the
plaine, saith the Lord, which say,
-- --
The Kings duetie, and prosperitie.
Who shall come downe against vs? 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 forrest thereof, and it shall deuoure
all things round about it.
