Jeremiah 21:3–7

³Then said Jeremiah unto them, Thus shall ye say to Zedekiah: ⁴Thus saith the Lord God of Israel; Behold, ^ffI will turn back the weapons of war that are in your hands, wherewith ye fight against the king of Babylon, and against the Chaldeans, ^ewhich besiege you without the walls, and ^gI will assemble them into the midst of this city. ⁵And I myself will fight against you ^hwith an outstretched hand and with a strong arm, even ⁱin anger, and in fury, and in great wrath. ⁶And I will smite the inhabitants of this city, both man and beast: they shall die of a great pestilence. ⁷And afterward, saith the Lord, ^jI will deliver Zedekiah ^kking of Judah, and his servants, and the people, and such as are left in this city 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 seek their life: and he shall smite them with the edge of the sword; ^lhe shall not spare them, neither have pity, nor have mercy.
