Jeremiah 21:1-2

Contemporary English Version

The Lord Will Fight against Jerusalem

21 King Zedekiah^[a] of Judah sent for Pashhur son of Malchiah and for a priest named Zephaniah son of Maaseiah. Then he told them, “Talk with Jeremiah for me.”

So they came to me and said, ^2 (A) “King Nebuchadnezzar^[b] of Babylonia has attacked Judah. Please ask the Lord to work miracles for our people, as he has done in the past, so that Nebuchadnezzar will leave us alone.”
