²¹ Therefore this is what the Lord says concerning the people of ^(A)Anathoth, who are ^(B)seeking your life, saying: “^(C)Do not prophesy in the name of the Lord, so that you do not ^(D)die by our hand”;

⁷ Then afterward,” declares the Lord, “^(A)I will hand Zedekiah king of Judah, his servants, and the people, that is, those who survive in this city from the plague, the sword, and the famine, over to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, to their enemies, and to those who seek their lives; and he will strike and kill them with the edge of the sword. He ^(B)will not spare them nor have pity nor compassion.”’

²⁵ and I will ^(A)hand you over to those who are seeking your life, yes, to those of whom you are frightened, that is, to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and the Chaldeans.
