Jeremiah 21:8-10

Modern English Version

⁸ To this people you shall say: Thus says the Lord: See, I set before you the way of life, and the way of death. ⁹ He who abides in this city will die by the sword and by the famine and by the pestilence. But he who goes out and falls away to the Chaldeans who besiege you, he will live, and he will have his own life as booty. ¹⁰ For I have set My face against this city for disaster and not for good, says the Lord. It will be given into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will burn it with fire.
