Jeremiah 21:4-6

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁴ “Thus you shall say to Zedeki′ah, ‘Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Behold, I will turn back the weapons of war which are in your hands and with which you are fighting against the king of Babylon and against the Chalde′ans who are besieging you outside the walls; and I will bring them together into the midst of this city. ⁵ I myself will fight against you with outstretched hand and strong arm, in anger, and in fury, and in great wrath. ⁶ And I will smite the inhabitants of this city, both man and beast; they shall die of a great pestilence.
