Yirmeyah 38:1-3

Orthodox Jewish Bible

38 Then Shephatyah Ben Mattan, and Gedalyah Ben Pashchur, and Yuchal Ben Shelemyah, and Pashchur Ben Malkiyah, heard the Devarim that Yirmeyah had spoken unto kol HaAm, saying,

² Thus saith Hashem, He that remaineth in this city shall die by the cherev, by the ra’av, and by the dever; but he that goeth forth to the Kasdim (Chaldeans) shall live; for he shall have his nefesh for plunder, and shall live.

³ Thus saith Hashem, This city shall surely be given into the yad of the army of Melech Bavel, which shall capture it.
