Jeremiah 21:8-12

“You shall also say to this people, ‘This is what the Lord says: “Behold, I am setting before you the way of life and the way of death.

Anyone who stays in this city will die by the sword, by famine, or by plague; but anyone who leaves and goes over to the Chaldeans who are besieging you will live, and he will have his own life as plunder.

For I have set My face against this city for harm and not for good,” declares the Lord. “It will be handed over to the king of Babylon and he will burn it with fire.” ’

“Then say to the household of the king of Judah, ‘Hear the word of the Lord,

house of David, this is what the Lord says: “Administer justice every morning; And save the person who has been robbed from the power of his oppressor, So that My wrath will not spread like fire And burn, with no one to extinguish it, Because of the evil of their deeds.
