Jeremiah 21:10 Context
8¶ And vnto this people thou shalt say; Thus saith the Lord; Behold, I set before you the way of life, and the way of death. 9He that abideth in this citie, shall die by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence: but he that goeth out, and falleth to the Caldeans, that besiege you, he shall liue, and his life shall be vnto him, for a pray. 10For I haue set my face against this citie for euill and not for good, saith the Lord; it shall be giuen into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burne it with fire. 11¶ And touching the house of the king of Iudah, say; Heare yee the word of the Lord. 12Oh house of Dauid, thus saith the Lord, Execute iudgement in the morning, and deliuer him that is spoiled, out of the hand of the oppressour, lest my furie goe out like fire, and burne, that none can quench it, because of the euill of your doings.
