8 “You shall also say to this people, ‘This is what the Lord says: “Behold, I am (A)setting before you the way of life and the way of death. 9 Anyone who (B)stays in this city will die by the (C)sword, by famine, or by plague; but anyone who leaves and goes over to the Chaldeans who are besieging you will live, and he will have his own life as plunder. 10 For I have (D)set My face against this city for harm and not for good,” declares the Lord. “It will be (E)handed over to the king of Babylon and he will (F)burn it with fire.”’

Common English Bible
8 This is what you should tell this people: The Lord says: I’m setting before you the way of life and the way of death. 9 Whoever stays in the city will die by the sword, famine, and disease. But whoever leaves the city and surrenders to the Babylonians[a] will live; yes, their lives will be spared. 10 I have set my face against this city for harm and not for good, declares the Lord; it will be delivered to the king of Babylon, who will set it on fire.
