Jeremiah 35:11-13

Expanded Bible

¹¹ But when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon ·attacked Judah [^Lcame up to the land], we said to each other, ‘Come, we must enter Jerusalem ·so we can escape [^Lfrom before] the ·Babylonian [^LChaldean] army and the Aramean army.’ So we have stayed [lived] in Jerusalem [^Cthough they may not be living in houses, in conformity to their ancestor’s command].”

¹² Then the Lord spoke his word to Jeremiah: ¹³ “This is what the Lord ·All-Powerful [Almighty; of Heaven’s Armies; ^Tof hosts], the God of Israel, says: Jeremiah, go and tell the men of Judah and the people of Jerusalem: ‘·You should [^LCan you not…?] learn a lesson and obey my message,’ says the Lord.
