| 1 | The word which came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, when king Zedekiah sent to him Pashhur the son of Malchijah, and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah, the priest, saying, | Jer 32:1-3 Jer 37:1 Jer 52:1-3 2Ki 24:17 2Ki 24:18 1Ch 3:15 2Ch 36:10-13 |
| 2 | Please inquire of Yahweh for us; for Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon makes war against us: peradventure Yahweh will deal with us according to all his wondrous works, that he may go up from us. | Jer 37:3 Jer 37:7 Jer 38:14-27 Jer 42:4-6 Jg 20:27 1Sa 10:22 1Sa 28:6 1Sa 28:15 1Ki 14:2 1Ki 14:3 1Ki 22:3-8 2Ki 1:3 2Ki 3:11-14 2Ki 22:13 2Ki 22:14 Ezk 14:3-7 Ezk 20:1-3 |
| 3 | Then said Jeremiah to them, Thus shall you tell Zedekiah: |
| 4 | Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, Behold, I will turn back the weapons of war that are in your hands, with which you fight against the king of Babylon, and against the Chaldeans who besiege you, without the walls; and I will gather them into the midst of this city. | Jer 32:5 Jer 33:5 Jer 37:8-10 Jer 38:2 Jer 38:3 Jer 38:17 Jer 38:18 Jer 52:18 Isa 10:4 Hos 9:12 |
| 5 | I myself will fight against you with an outstretched hand and with a strong arm, even in anger, and in wrath, and in great indignation. | Isa 63:10 Lam 2:4 Lam 2:5 |
| 6 | I will strike the inhabitants of this city, both man and animal: they shall die of a great pestilence. | Jer 7:20 Jer 12:3 Jer 12:4 Jer 33:12 Jer 36:29 Gn 6:7 Isa 6:11 Isa 24:1-6 Ezk 14:13 Ezk 14:17 Ezk 14:19 Ezk 14:21 Ezk 33:27 Ezk 33:29 Hos 4:3 Mic 3:12 Zep 1:3 Lk 21:24 |
| 7 | Afterward, says Yahweh, I will deliver Zedekiah king of Judah, and his servants, and the people, even such as are left in this city from the pestilence, from the sword, and from the famine, into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those who seek their life: and he shall strike them with the edge of the sword; he shall not spare them, neither have pity, nor have mercy. | Jer 24:8-10 Jer 34:19-22 Jer 37:17 Jer 38:21-23 Jer 39:4-7 Jer 52:8-11 Jer 52:24-27 2Ki 25:5-7 2Ki 25:18-21 2Ch 36:17-20 Ezk 12:12-16 Ezk 17:20 Ezk 17:21 Ezk 21:25 Ezk 21:26 |
| 8 | To this people you shall say, Thus says Yahweh: Behold, I set before you the way of life and the way of death. | Dt 11:26 Dt 30:15 Dt 30:19 Isa 1:19 Isa 1:20 |
| 9 | He who remains in this city shall die by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence; but he who goes out, and passes over to the Chaldeans who besiege you, he shall live, and his life shall be to him for a prey. | Jer 21:7 Jer 27:13 Jer 38:2 Jer 38:17-23 |
| 10 | For I have set my face on this city for evil, and not for good, says Yahweh: it shall be given into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire. | Jer 44:11 Jer 44:27 Lv 17:10 Lv 20:3-5 Lv 26:17 Ps 34:16 Ezk 15:7 Am 9:4 |
| 11 | Touching the house of the king of Judah, hear you the word of Yahweh: | Jer 13:18 Jer 17:20 Mic 3:1 |
| 12 | House of David, thus says Yahweh, Execute justice in the morning, and deliver him who is robbed out of the hand of the oppressor, lest my wrath go forth like fire, and burn so that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings. | Isa 7:2 Isa 7:13 Lk 1:69 |
| 13 | Behold, I am against you, O inhabitant of the valley, [and] of the rock of the plain, says Yahweh; you that say, Who shall come down against us? or who shall enter into our habitations? | Jer 21:5 Jer 23:30-32 Jer 50:31 Jer 51:25 Ex 13:8 Ex 13:20 |
| 14 | I will punish you according to the fruit of your doings, says Yahweh; and I will kindle a fire in her forest, and it shall devour all that is round about her. | Jer 9:25 Jer 11:22 Isa 10:12 Isa 24:21 |
