⁹ He who ^(A)inhabits this city will die by the ^(B)sword and by famine and by pestilence; but he who goes out and falls away to the Chaldeans who are besieging you will live, and he will have his own life as spoil.

¹⁸ For I will certainly provide you escape, and you will not fall by the sword; but you will have your own ^(A)life as spoil because you have ^(B)trusted in Me,” declares Yahweh.’”

⁵ But as for you, are you ^(A)seeking great things for yourself? Do not seek them; for behold, I am going to ^(B)bring calamity on all flesh,’ declares Yahweh, ‘but I will ^(C)give your life to you as spoil in all the places where you may go.’”
