Jeremiah 21:4-6

New International Reader's Version

⁴ ‘The Lord is the God of Israel. He says, “The king of Babylon and his armies are all around this city. They are getting ready to attack you. You have weapons of war in your hands to fight against them. But I am about to turn your weapons against you. And I will bring your enemies inside this city. ⁵ I myself will fight against you. I will reach out my powerful hand and mighty arm. I will come against you with all my great anger. ⁶ I will strike down those who live in this city. I will kill people and animals alike. They will die of a terrible plague.
