- "Thus¹ saithª° the LORDª Godª of Israel;ª Behold,¹ I will turn backª°¹ the weaponsª of warª that¹ [are] in your hands,ª wherewith¹ ye¹ fightª° against¹ the kingª of Babylon,ª and [against] the Chaldeans,ª which besiegeª°¹ you withoutª¹ the walls,ª and I will assembleª° them into¹ the midstª of this¹ city.ª ... And afterward,ª¹ saithª° the LORD,ª I will deliverª°¹ Zedekiahª kingª of Judah,ª and his servants,ª and the people,ª and such as are leftª° in this¹ cityª from¹ the pestilence,ª from¹ the sword,ª and from¹ the famine,ª into the handª of Nebuchadrezzarª kingª of Babylon,ª and into the handª of their enemies,ª° and into the handª of those that seekª° their life:ª and he shall smiteª° them with the edgeª of the sword;ª he shall not¹ spareª°¹ them, neither¹ have pity,ª° nor¹ have mercy.ª°" {Jer 21:4-7} + "For¹ I have setª° my faceª against this¹ cityª for evil,ª and not¹ for good,ª saithª° the LORD:ª it shall be givenª° into the handª of the kingª of Babylon,ª and he shall burnª° it with fire.ª" {Jer 21:10} + "The prophetsª that¹ have been¹ beforeª me and beforeª thee of¹ oldª prophesiedª° both against¹ manyª countries,ª and against¹ greatª kingdoms,ª of war,ª and of evil,ª and of pestilence.ª" {Jer 28:8} + "Therefore¹ thus¹ saithª° the LORD;ª Behold,¹ I will giveª°¹ this¹ cityª into the handª of the Chaldeans,ª and into the handª of Nebuchadrezzarª kingª of Babylon,ª and he shall takeª° it: ... For¹ the childrenª of Israelª and the childrenª of Judahª have¹ only¹ doneª° evilª beforeª me from their youth:ª¹ for¹ the childrenª of Israelª have only¹ provoked me to angerª°¹ with the workª of their hands,ª saithª° the LORD.ª" {Jer 32:28-30} + "And Zedekiahª kingª of Judahª and his princesª will I giveª° into the handª of their enemies,ª° and into the handª of them that seekª° their life,ª and into the handª of the kingª of Babylon'sª army,ª which are gone upª° from¹¹ you. ... Behold,¹ I will command,ª° saithª° the LORD,ª and cause them to returnª° to¹ this¹ city;ª and they shall fightª° against¹ it, and takeª° it, and burnª° it with fire:ª and I will makeª° the citiesª of Judahª a desolationª without¹¹ an inhabitant.ª°" {Jer 34:21-22}
