Jeremiah 15:2-4
1599 Geneva Bible
2 And if they say unto thee, Whither shall we depart? then tell them, Thus saith the Lord, (A)Such as are appointed to death, unto death: and such as are for the sword, to the sword: and such as are for the famine, to the famine: and such as are for the captivity, to the captivity.
3 And I will appoint over them four kinds, saith the Lord, the sword to slay, and the [a]dogs to tear in pieces, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the earth to devour, and to destroy.
4 I will [b]scatter them also in all kingdoms of the earth, [c]because of Manasseh the son of Hezekiah King of Judah for that which he did in Jerusalem.
