Jeremiah 21:6-8

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁶ And I will strike the inhabitants of this city, men and beasts shall die of a great pestilence.

⁷ And after this, saith the Lord, I will give Sedecias the king of Juda, and his servants, and his people, and such as are left in this city from the pestilence, and the sword, and the famine, into the hand of Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon, and into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them that seek their life, and he shall strike them with the edge of the sword, and he shall not be moved to pity, nor spare them, nor shew mercy on them.

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.
