<h1> Jeremiah Chapter 21 </h1>
<p><sup>1</sup>The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, when King Zedekiah
sent to him Pashhur, the son of Malchiah, and Zephaniah, the son of Maaseiah the
priest, saying,</p>
<p><sup>2</sup>Will you get directions from the Lord for us; for Nebuchadrezzar,
king of Babylon, is making war against us; it may be that the Lord will do
something for us like all the wonders he has done, and make him go away from
us.</p>
<p><sup>3</sup>Then Jeremiah said to them, This is what you are to say to
Zedekiah:</p>
<p><sup>4</sup>The Lord God of Israel has said, See, I am turning back the
instruments of war in your hands, with which you are fighting against the king of
Babylon and the Chaldaeans, who are outside the walls and shutting you in; and I
will get them together inside this town.</p>
<p><sup>5</sup>And I myself will be fighting against you with an outstretched hand
and with a strong arm, even with angry feeling and passion and in great wrath.</p>
<p><sup>6</sup>And I will send a great disease on the people living in this town,
on man and on beast, causing their death.</p>
<p><sup>7</sup>And after that, says the Lord, I will give up Zedekiah, king of
Judah, and his servants and his people, even those in the town who have not come to
their end from the disease and the sword and from need of food, into the hands of
Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, and into the hands of their haters, and into the
hands of those desiring their death: he will put them to the sword; he will not let
anyone get away, he will have no pity or mercy.</p>
<p><sup>8</sup>And to this people you are to say, The Lord has said, See, I put
before you the way of life and the way of death.</p>
<p><sup>9</sup>He who keeps in this town will come to his death by the sword and
through need of food and through disease; but he who goes out and gives himself up
to the Chaldaeans who are shutting you in, will go on living, and will keep his
life safe.</p>
<p><sup>10</sup>For my face is turned to this town for evil and not for good, says
the Lord: it will be given into the hands of the king of Babylon, and he will have
it burned with fire.</p>
<p><sup>11</sup>About the family of the king of Judah. Give ear to the word of the
Lord;</p>
<p><sup>12</sup>O family of David, this is what the Lord has said: Do what is right
in the morning, and make free from the hands of the cruel one him whose goods have
been violently taken away, or my wrath will go out like fire, burning so that no
one may put it out, because of the evil of your doings.</p>
<p><sup>13</sup>See, I am against you, you who are living on the rock of the
valley, says the Lord; you who say, Who will come down against us? or who will get
into our houses?</p>
<p><sup>14</sup>I will send punishment on you in keeping with the fruit of your
doings, says the Lord: and I will put a fire in her woodlands, burning up
everything round about her.</p>
