²⁴ Behold, the ^(A)assault ramps have reached the city to take it; and the city has been ^(B)handed over to the Chaldeans who fight against it, because of the ^(C)sword, the famine, and the plague; and what You have spoken has ^(D)come to pass; and behold, You see it.

² “This is what the Lord says: ‘Anyone who ^(A)stays in this city will die by the ^(B)sword, by famine, or by plague; but anyone who surrenders to the Chaldeans will live and have his own ^(C)life as plunder, and stay alive.’
