Jeremiah 21:8-10

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

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.

⁹ He that shall abide in this city, shall die by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence: but he that shall go out and flee over to the Chaldeans, that besiege you, shall live, and his life shall be to him as a spoil.

¹⁰ For I have set my face against this city for evil, and not for good, saith the Lord: it shall be given into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire.
