Jeremiah 21:5-7

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁵ I will fight you in anger, fury, and rage with my powerful hand and my mighty arm. ⁶ I will defeat those who live in this city, both people and animals. They will die from a terrible plague. ⁷ Afterwards, declares the Lord, I will hand over Judah’s King Zedekiah, his officials, the people, and everyone else in this city who survives the plague, war, and famine. They will be handed over to King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon and to their enemies who want to kill them. Nebuchadnezzar will kill them with swords. He won’t spare them, show them compassion, or care for them.’
