Jeremiah 21:8-10
English Standard Version
8 “And to this people you shall say: (A)‘Thus says the Lord: Behold, (B)I set before you the way of life and the way of death. 9 He who stays in this city shall die (C)by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence, but he who goes out and (D)surrenders to the Chaldeans who are besieging you shall live (E)and shall have his life as a prize of war. 10 For (F)I have set my face against this city for harm and (G)not for good, declares the Lord: (H)it shall be given into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire.’

New Living Translation
8 “Tell all the people, ‘This is what the Lord says: Take your choice of life or death! 9 Everyone who stays in Jerusalem will die from war, famine, or disease, but those who go out and surrender to the Babylonians will live. Their reward will be life! 10 For I have decided to bring disaster and not good upon this city, says the Lord. It will be handed over to the king of Babylon, and he will reduce it to ashes.’
