Jeremiah 21:7 WBT

⁵  And I myself will fight against you with an out-stretched hand and with a strong arm, even in anger, and in fury, and in great wrath.

⁶  And I will smite the inhabitants of this city, both man and beast; they shall die by a great pestilence.

⁷  And afterward, saith the LORD, I will deliver Zedekiah king 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 Nebuchadnezzar 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; he shall not spare them, neither have pity, nor have mercy.

⁸  And to this people thou shalt say, Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I set before you the way of life, and the way of death.

⁹  He that abideth in this city shall die by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence: but he that goeth out, and falleth to the Chaldeans that besiege you, he shall live, and his life shall be to him for a prey.
