Jeremiah 21:2-14

21:2

Enquire
<01875> (8798)_,

I pray thee, of the LORD
<03068>

for us
<01157>_;

for Nebuchadrezzar
<05019>

king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>

maketh war
<03898> (8737)

against us; if so be that the LORD
<03068>

will deal
<06213> (8799)

with us according to all his wondrous works
<06381> (8737)_,

that he may go up
<05927> (8799)

from us.

21:3

Then said
<0559> (8799)

Jeremiah
<03414>

unto them, Thus shall ye say
<0559> (8799)

to Zedekiah
<06667>_:

21:4

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_;

Behold, I will turn back
<05437> (8688)

the weapons
<03627>

of war
<04421>

that [are] in your hands
<03027>_,

wherewith ye fight
<03898> (8737)

against the king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>_,

and [against] the Chaldeans
<03778>_,

which besiege
<06696> (8802)

you without
<02351>

the walls
<02346>_,

and I will assemble
<0622> (8804)

them into the midst
<08432>

of this city
<05892>_.

21:5

And I myself will fight
<03898> (8738)

against you with an outstretched
<05186> (8803)

hand
<03027>

and with a strong
<02389>

arm
<02220>_,

even in anger
<0639>_,

and in fury
<02534>_,

and in great
<01419>

wrath
<07110>_.

21:6

And I will smite
<05221> (8689)

the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of this city
<05892>_,

both man
<0120>

and beast
<0929>_:

they shall die
<04191> (8799)

of a great
<01419>

pestilence
<01698>_.

21:7

And afterward
<0310>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_,

I will deliver
<05414> (8799)

Zedekiah
<06667>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_,

and his servants
<05650>_,

and the people
<05971>_,

and such as are left
<07604> (8737)

in this city
<05892>

from the pestilence
<01698>_,

from the sword
<02719>_,

and from the famine
<07458>_,

into the hand
<03027>

of Nebuchadrezzar
<05019>

king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>_,

and into the hand
<03027>

of their enemies
<0341> (8802)_,

and into the hand
<03027>

of those that seek
<01245> (8764)

their life
<05315>_:

and he shall smite
<05221> (8689)

them with the edge
<06310>

of the sword
<02719>_;

he shall not spare
<02347> (8799)

them, neither have pity
<02550> (8799)_,

nor have mercy
<07355> (8762)_.

21:8

And unto this people
<05971>

thou shalt say
<0559> (8799)_,

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_;

Behold, I set
<05414> (8802)

before
<06440>

you the way
<01870>

of life
<02416>_,

and the way
<01870>

of death
<04194>_.

21:9

He that abideth
<03427> (8802)

in this city
<05892>

shall die
<04191> (8799)

by the sword
<02719>_,

and by the famine
<07458>_,

and by the pestilence
<01698>_:

but he that goeth out
<03318> (8802)_,

and falleth
<05307> (8804)

to the Chaldeans
<03778>

that besiege
<06696> (8802)

you, he shall live
<02421> (8804) (8675) <02421> (8799)_,

and his life
<05315>

shall be unto him for a prey
<07998>_.

21:10

For I have set
<07760> (8804)

my face
<06440>

against this city
<05892>

for evil
<07451>_,

and not for good
<02896>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_:

it shall be given
<05414> (8735)

into the hand
<03027>

of the king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>_,

and he shall burn
<08313> (8804)

it with fire
<0784>_.

21:11

And touching the house
<01004>

of the king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_,

[say], Hear
<08085> (8798)

ye the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_;

21:12

O house
<01004>

of David
<01732>_,

thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_;

Execute
<01777> (8798)

judgment
<04941>

in the morning
<01242>_,

and deliver
<05337> (8685)

[him that is] spoiled
<01497> (8803)

out of the hand
<03027>

of the oppressor
<06231> (8802)_,

lest my fury
<02534>

go out
<03318> (8799)

like fire
<0784>_,

and burn
<01197> (8804)

that none can quench
<03518> (8764)

[it], because
<06440>

of the evil
<07455>

of your doings
<04611>_.

{Execute: Heb. Judge}

21:13

Behold, I [am] against thee, O inhabitant
<03427> (8802)

of the valley
<06010>_,

[and] rock
<06697>

of the plain
<04334>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_;

which say
<0559> (8802)_,

Who shall come down
<05181> (8799)

against us? or who shall enter
<0935> (8799)

into our habitations
<04585>_?

{inhabitant: Heb. inhabitress}

21:14

But I will punish
<06485> (8804)

you according to the fruit
<06529>

of your doings
<04611>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_:

and I will kindle
<03341> (8689)

a fire
<0784>

in the forest
<03293>

thereof, and it shall devour
<0398> (8804)

all things round about
<05439>

it. {punish: Heb. visit upon}
