NASB
Jere 21:1
&
The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD when King Zedekiah sent to him Pashhur the son of Malchijah, and Zephaniah the priest, the son of Maaseiah, saying,
Jere 21:2
&
"Please inquire of the LORD on our behalf, for Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon is warring against us; perhaps the LORD will deal with us according to all His wonderful acts, so that {the enemy} will withdraw from us."
Jere 21:3
&
Then Jeremiah said to them, "You shall say to Zedekiah as follows:
Jere 21:4
Jere 21:5
&
~"I Myself will war against you with an outstretched hand and a mighty arm, even in anger and wrath and great indignation.
Jere 21:6
&
~"I will also strike down the inhabitants of this city, both man and beast; they will die of a great pestilence.
Jere 21:7
&
~"Then afterwards," declares the LORD, "I will give over Zedekiah king of Judah and his servants and the people, even those who survive in this city from the pestilence, the sword and the famine, into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of their foes and into the hand of those who seek their lives; and he will strike them down with the edge of the sword. He will not spare them nor have pity nor compassion."'
