12 When they fast, I do not listen to their entreaties,+ and when they offer whole burnt offerings and grain offerings, I take no pleasure in them,+ for by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence,* I will do away with them.”+

2 And if they say to you, ‘Where should we go?’ you must say to them, ‘This is what Jehovah says:

“Whoever is for deadly plague, to deadly plague!

Whoever is for the sword, to the sword!+

Whoever is for the famine, to the famine!

And whoever is for the captivity, to the captivity!”’+

9 Those who remain in this city will die by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence. But whoever goes out and surrenders to the Chal·deʹans who are besieging you will keep living, and he will have his life* as a spoil.”’*+
