Jeremiah 38:2-4

38:2

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

He that remaineth
<03427> (8802)

in this city
<05892>

shall die
<04191> (8799)

by the sword
<02719>_,

by the famine
<07458>_,

and by the pestilence
<01698>_:

but he that goeth forth
<03318> (8802)

to the Chaldeans
<03778>

shall live
<02421> (8804)_;

for he shall have his life
<05315>

for a prey
<07998>_,

and shall live
<02421> (8799) (8675) <02425> (8804)_.

38:3

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

This city
<05892>

shall surely
<05414> (8736)

be given
<05414> (8735)

into the hand
<03027>

of the king
<04428>

of Babylon's
<0894>

army
<02428>_,

which shall take
<03920> (8804)

it.

38:4

Therefore the princes
<08269>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto the king
<04428>_,

We beseech thee, let this man
<0376>

be put to death
<04191> (8714)_:

for thus
<03651>

he weakeneth
<07503> (8764)

the hands
<03027>

of the men
<0582>

of war
<04421>

that remain
<07604> (8737)

in this city
<05892>_,

and the hands
<03027>

of all the people
<05971>_,

in speaking
<01696> (8763)

such words
<01697>

unto them: for this man
<0376>

seeketh
<01875> (8802)

not the welfare
<07965>

of this people
<05971>_,

but the hurt
<07451>_.

{welfare: Heb. peace}
