And he who goes out and goes over to the Chaldeans who are laying siege to you will live, and his life will be to him as booty. 10 For I have set my face against this city for evil and not for good,” declares[b] Yahweh. It will be given into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will burn it with fire.”’
