1 The message that came to Jeremiah from the LORD when King Zedekiah sent to him Malchijah's son Pashhur and Maaseiah's son Zephaniah the priest: 2 Please inquire of the LORD on our behalf, for Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon is fighting against us. Perhaps the LORD will do some of his miraculous acts for us, and Nebuchadnezzar will depart from us.| 3 Jeremiah told them, |This is what you are to say to Zedekiah, 4 This is what the LORD God of Israel says: |I'm about to turn against you the weapons of war that are in your hands and with which you are fighting the king of Babylon and the Chaldeans who are besieging you outside the walls. I'll gather them into the center of this city. 5 Because of my anger, wrath, and great fury, I'll fight against you myself with an outstretched hand and a strong arm. Jeremiah 21:1-5, Intl.
