The
word which came to
Jeremiah from the
LORD when
King Zedekiah sent to him
Pashhur the

Zephaniah the
priest, the
son of

saying,

"Please inquire of the
LORD on our
behalf, for
Nebuchadnezzar king of
Babylon is
warring against us;

LORD will

all His
wonderful acts, so that the enemy will
withdraw from us."

'Thus says the
LORD God of
Israel,
"Behold, I am about to
turn back the
weapons of
war which are in your
hands, with
which you are

Babylon and the
Chaldeans who are
besieging * you
outside * the
wall; and I will
gather them into the
center of
this city.
