Jeremiah 21:8-10

The Voice

Eternal One (to Jeremiah): ⁸ Tell the people that I said, “I will give you the choice of life or death. ⁹ Stay in the city, and you will die by war, famine, or plague. But walk outside the city walls and surrender to the Chaldean army about to lay siege to your city, and you will live. You will be prisoners of war, but you’ll be rewarded with life. ¹⁰ For I have turned My back on this city, purposing evil instead of good. The city will be delivered into the hands of the king of Babylon, who will burn it to the ground.”
