Jeremiah 21:2-4
Names of God Bible
2 “Consult Yahweh for us, because King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon is attacking us. Maybe Yahweh will perform miracles for us so that Nebuchadnezzar will retreat.”
3 Jeremiah responded to them, “This is what you should say to Zedekiah, 4 ‘This is what Yahweh Elohim of Israel says: I’m going to take your weapons away from you. You are using these weapons to fight the king of Babylon as well as the Babylonians who are now blockading you outside the wall. I will bring the Babylonians inside this city.
