Jeremiah 21:8-10

New Catholic Bible

⁸ “You are to say further to this people: Thus says the Lord: Behold, I am offering you a choice between the way of life and the way of death. ⁹ Whoever remains in this city will die by the sword, by famine, or by pestilence, but those who leave and surrender to the Chaldeans who are now besieging you will survive and escape with their lives. ¹⁰ For I am determined that this city must endure disaster and not revel in prosperity, says the Lord. It will be handed over to the king of Babylon, and he will burn it to the ground.”
