Jeremiah 21:8-14

Jeremiah 21:8-14

[8] And unto this people  thou shalt say,  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 unto him for a prey.  [10] For I have set  my face  against this city  for evil,  and not for good,  saith  the LORD:  it shall be given  into the hand  of the king  of Babylon,  and he shall burn  it with fire.  [11] And touching the house  of the king  of Judah,  say, Hear  ye the word  of the LORD;  [12] O house  of David,  thus saith  the LORD;  Execute  judgment  in the morning,  and deliver  him that is spoiled  out of the hand  of the oppressor,  lest my fury  go out  like fire,  and burn  that none can quench  it, because  of the evil  of your doings.  [13] Behold, I am against thee, O inhabitant  of the valley,  and rock  of the plain,  saith  the LORD;  which say,  Who shall come down  against us? or who shall enter  into our habitations?  [14] But I will punish  you according to the fruit  of your doings,  saith  the LORD:  and I will kindle  a fire  in the forest  thereof, and it shall devour  all things round about  it.
