1 The word which was to Jeremiah from Jehovah in king Zedekiah's sending to him Pashur son of Melchiah, and Zephaniah son Maaseiah the priest, saying, 2 Seek now: Jehovah for us; for Nebuchadnezzar king of Babel is warring against us; perhaps Jehovah will do with us his wonders, and he shall go up from us. 3 And Jeremiah will say to them, Thus shall ye say to Zedekiah: 4 Thus said Jehovah God of Israel: Behold me turning about the weapons of war which are in your hands which ye are fighting with them with the king of Babel, and the Chaldeans, pressing upon you without the wall, and I gathered you to the midst of this city. 5 And I warred with you with a hand stretched out and with an arm of strength, and in anger and in heat and in great wrath. 6 And I struck the inhabitants of this city, and man and beast: in great death they shall die.
