⁴ thus says Adonai, the God of Israel: ‘I will soon turn back the weapons of war that are in your hands, which you use to fight against the king of Babylon and against the Chaldeans, who are besieging you outside the walls—I will assemble them in the center of this city. ⁵ I myself will fight against you, with an outstretched hand and with a strong arm, even with anger, fury and in great wrath. ⁶ I will also strike down the inhabitants of this city, both man and beast—they will die of a great pestilence.’”
