9 O que ficar nesta cidade há de morrer � espada, ou de fome, ou de peste; mas o que sair, e se render aos caldeus, que vos cercam, viverá, e terá a sua vida por despojo.

Jeremias 21:9 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 21:9

He that abideth in this city
Imagining himself safe there; not fearing its being taken by the king of Babylon; though it was so often foretold by the prophet of the Lord that it should: shall die by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence:
by the first of these, in sallying out against the enemy; and by the other two, which raged within the city: but he that goeth out, and falleth to the Chaldeans that besiege you,
he shall live;
not fall upon them, as the words may be literally rendered; so it would describe such that went out of the city and sallied upon them; whereas it designs such who should go out of the city, and surrender themselves unto the Chaldeans; submit to them, so as to obey them, as the Targum adds; such shall have their lives spared: and his life shall be unto him for a prey;
it shall be like a spoil or booty taken out of an enemy's hands; it shall be with difficulty obtained, and with joy possessed, as a prey or spoil is.

8 E a este povo dirás: Assim diz o Senhor: Eis que ponho diante de vós o caminho da vida e o caminho da morte.
9 O que ficar nesta cidade há de morrer � espada, ou de fome, ou de peste; mas o que sair, e se render aos caldeus, que vos cercam, viverá, e terá a sua vida por despojo.
10 Porque pus o meu rosto contra esta cidade para mal, e não para bem, diz o Senhor; na mão do rei de Babilônia se entregará, e ele a queimará a fogo.
11 E � casa do rei de Judá dirás: Ouvi a palavra do Senhor:
