Jeremiah 21:6-8

Common English Bible

⁶ I will strike down those within this city—both people and animals—and they will die of a terrible plague. ⁷ Afterward, declares the Lord, I will deliver Judah’s King Zedekiah, his servants, and those in this city who have survived plague, war, and famine to Babylon’s King Nebuchadnezzar^[a] and to their enemies who seek to do them harm. He will put them to the sword without pity, mercy, or compassion.

⁸ This is what you should tell this people: The Lord says: I’m setting before you the way of life and the way of death.
