⁹ He who stays in this city shall die ^(A)by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence, but he who goes out and ^(B)surrenders to the Chaldeans who are besieging you shall live ^(C)and shall have his life as a prize of war.

¹⁹ King Zedekiah said to Jeremiah, “I am afraid of the Judeans ^(A)who have deserted to the Chaldeans, lest I be handed over to them and they deal cruelly with me.”

⁹ Then ^(A)Nebuzaradan, the ^(B)captain of the guard, carried into exile to Babylon the rest of the people who were left in the city, ^(C)those who had deserted to him, and the people who remained.

¹⁵ And Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive some of the poorest of the people and the rest of the people who were left in the city and ^(A)the deserters who had deserted to the king of Babylon, together with the rest of the artisans.
