Jeremiah 21:5-7
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
5 and I myself will fight against you with outstretched hand and mighty arm, in anger, wrath, and great rage!(A) 6 I will strike down the inhabitants of this city, human being and beast; they shall die in a great pestilence.(B) 7 After that—oracle of the Lord—I will hand over Zedekiah, king of Judah, and his ministers and the people in this city who survive pestilence, sword, and famine, to Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, to their enemies and those who seek their lives. He shall strike them down with the edge of the sword, without quarter, without mercy or compassion.(C)
