Jeremiah 21:2-4
English Standard Version
2 (A)“Inquire of the Lord for us, (B)for Nebuchadnezzar[a] king of Babylon is making war against us. Perhaps the Lord will deal with us according to (C)all his wonderful deeds and will make him withdraw from us.”
3 Then Jeremiah said to them: “Thus you shall say to Zedekiah, 4 ‘Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: (D)Behold, I will turn back the weapons of war that are in your hands and with which you are fighting against the king of Babylon and against the Chaldeans who are besieging you outside the walls. (E)And I will bring them together into the midst of this city.
