Jeremiah 19:15
19:15 “The
Lord God of Israel who rules over all
says, ‘I will soon bring on this city and all the towns surrounding it
all the disaster I threatened to do to it. I will do so because they have stubbornly refused
to pay any attention to what I have said!’”
Jeremiah 21:4-10
21:4 that the
Lord, the God of Israel, says,
‘The forces at your disposal
are now outside the walls fighting against King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon and the Babylonians
who have you under siege. I will gather those forces back inside the city.
21:5 In anger, in fury, and in wrath I myself will fight against you with my mighty power and great strength!
21:6 I will kill everything living in Jerusalem,
people and animals alike! They will die from terrible diseases.
21:7 Then
I, the
Lord, promise that
I will hand over King Zedekiah of Judah, his officials, and any of the people who survive the war, starvation, and disease. I will hand them over to King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon and to their enemies who want to kill them. He will slaughter them with the sword. He will not show them any mercy, compassion, or pity.’
21:8 “But tell the people of Jerusalem that the Lord says, ‘I will give you a choice between two courses of action. One will result in life; the other will result in death.
21:9 Those who stay in this city will die in battle or of starvation or disease. Those who leave the city and surrender to the Babylonians who are besieging it will live. They will escape with their lives.
21:10 For I, the Lord, say that I am determined not to deliver this city but to bring disaster on it. It will be handed over to the king of Babylon and he will destroy it with fire.’”
Jeremiah 25:9
25:9 So I, the
Lord, affirm that
I will send for all the peoples of the north
and my servant,
King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon. I will bring them against this land and its inhabitants and all the nations that surround it. I will utterly destroy
this land, its inhabitants, and all the nations that surround it
and make them everlasting ruins.
I will make them objects of horror and hissing scorn.
Jeremiah 32:27-31
32:27 “I am the
Lord, the God of all humankind. There is, indeed, nothing too difficult for me.
32:28 Therefore I, the
Lord, say:
‘I will indeed hand
this city over to King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon and the Babylonian army.
They will capture it.
32:29 The Babylonian soldiers
that are attacking this city will break into it and set it on fire. They will burn it down along with the houses where people have made me angry by offering sacrifices to the god Baal and by pouring out drink offerings to other gods on their rooftops.
32:30 This will happen because the people of Israel and Judah have repeatedly done what displeases me
from their earliest history until now
and because they
have repeatedly made me angry by the things they have done.
I, the
Lord, affirm it!
32:31 This will happen because
the people of this city have aroused my anger and my wrath since the time they built it until now.
They have made me so angry that I am determined to remove
it from my sight.
