“‘“ If, however, any nation or kingdom will not serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon or bow its neck under his yoke, I will punish that nation with the sword, famine and plague, declares the Lord, until I destroy it by his hand.

“‘ “But suppose any nation or kingdom will not serve Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon. And suppose it refuses to put its neck under his yoke. Then I will punish that nation with war, hunger and plague,” announces the Lord.“ I will punish it until his powerful hand destroys it.

“‘“ But if any nation or kingdom will not serve this Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and put its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, I will punish that nation with the sword, with famine, and with pestilence, declares the Lord, until I have consumed it by his hand.

So you must submit to Babylon’s king and serve him; put your neck under Babylon’s yoke! I will punish any nation that refuses to be his slave, says the Lord. I will send war, famine, and disease upon that nation until Babylon has conquered it.

“‘“ As for the nation or kingdom that does not serve King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon and does not place its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, that nation I will punish by sword, famine, and plague— this is the LORD’s declaration— until through him I have destroyed it.

‘ And it will be that the nation or the kingdom which will not serve him, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and will not put its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, I will punish that nation with the sword, with famine, and with plague,’ declares the Lord,‘ until I have eliminated it by his hand.

And it shall be, that the nation and kingdom which will not serve Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, and which will not put its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, that nation I will punish,’ says the Lord,‘ with the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, until I have consumed them by his hand.

And it shall come to pass, that the nation and the kingdom which will not serve the same Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and that will not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, that nation will I punish, saith Jehovah, with the sword, and with the famine, and with the pestilence, until I have consumed them by his hand.

“ As for the nation or kingdom that does not serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and does not place its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, that nation I will punish by sword, famine, and plague”— this is the Lord’s declaration—“ until through him I have destroyed it.

And it shall come to pass,[ that] the nation and kingdom which will not serve the same Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, and that will not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, that nation will I punish, saith the LORD, with the sword, and with the famine, and with the pestilence, until I have consumed them by his hand.

But suppose a nation or a kingdom will not be subject to King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon. Suppose it will not submit to the yoke of servitude to him. I, the LORD, affirm that I will punish that nation. I will use the king of Babylon to punish it with war, starvation, and disease until I have destroyed it.

“‘“‘ It will happen that I will punish the nation and the kingdom which will not serve the same Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and that will not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon,’ says Yahweh,‘ with the sword, with famine, and with pestilence, until I have consumed them by his hand.

因此主永恆主這麼說：我指着永活的我來起誓，對他所藐視我發咒起誓的話、和他所違犯我立的約、我一定要將這罪還報在他頭上。我必將我的網撒在他身上，他必在我的網羅中被捉住；我要把他帶到巴比倫，在那裏判罰他對我不忠實的罪。在他全部隊中、他所有的精兵都必倒斃於刀下；剩下的必被撒於四方；你們就知道是我永恆主說了。』

我必打發刀劍、饑荒、瘟疫、來擊打他們，直到他們從我所賜給他們和他們列祖的土地上都滅絕了。』

耶利米對西底家說：『永恆主萬軍之上帝以色列之上帝這麼說：你若毅然出去歸降巴比倫王的首領，你的性命就得以活着，這城也不至於被火焚燒，你和你的家就得以活着。但你若不出去歸降巴比倫王的首領，這城就必交在迦勒底人手中；他們必放火燒城，你自己也不能逃脫他們的手。』西底家王對耶利米說：『我，我怕那些投降迦勒底人的猶大人，恐怕迦勒底人會將我交在他們手中，他們會作弄我。』

『何況我打發刀劍、饑荒、惡獸、瘟疫這四樣嚴厲的判罰，去降給耶路撒冷，將人和牲口都從那裏剪除掉，豈不更加各自為救麼？主永恆主這麼說。

沙番的孫子亞希甘的兒子基大利向他們和他們屬下的人起誓、說：『不必怕服事迦勒底人，只管住在這地、服事巴比倫王，就可以平安無事。

你們若死心塌地地住在這地，我就建立你們，必不傾覆；栽植你們，必不拔除；因為對降禍與你們、我改變了心意了。你們所怕的巴比倫王、你們不要怕；不要怕他，永恆主發神諭說，因為是我與你們同在，要拯救你們，要援救你們脫離他的手。我要向你們施憐憫，叫他憐憫你們，使你們仍住你們本地。倘若你們說：「我們不住這地」，就這樣不聽永恆主你們的上帝的聲音，而說：「不，我們要進的是埃及地，在那裏我們不至於聽到戰爭，號角的聲音不至於聽到，糧食也不至於鬧饑荒；就在那裏我們要居住着」，那麼、猶大餘剩之民哪，你們現在就要聽永恆主的話哦。萬軍之永恆主以色列之上帝這麼說：你們若硬着頭皮要進埃及，去寄居在那裏，那麼你們所怕的刀劍就會在埃及地那裏趕上你們；你們所恐懼的饑荒就會緊跟着你們到埃及那裏，使你們死在那裏。凡硬着頭皮要進埃及，而寄居在那裏的人、都必因刀劍饑荒或瘟疫而死，必沒有一人能殘存、而逃脫我所要降與他們的災禍。『因為萬軍之永恆主以色列之上帝這麼說；我怎樣將我的怒氣烈怒倒在耶路撒冷的居民身上，你們進埃及時，我也必怎樣將我的烈怒倒在你們身上，使你們成了令人咒罵、令人驚駭、令人咒詛羞辱的對象，以致你們不得再見這地方。

因為是為了永恆主怒氣發作的緣故，事情在耶路撒冷和猶大才發展到永恆主竟丟掉他們、離開自己面前。西底家背叛了巴比倫王。他作王第九年、十月十日、巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒來了，他和他的全軍來攻耶路撒冷，紮營攻城，四圍築壘攻打它。於是城被圍困、直到西底家王十一年。四月九日、城裏大鬧饑荒，甚至當地的人民都沒有糧食。

『他們若不肯把這杯從你手中接過去喝，你就要對他們說：「萬軍之永恆主這麼說：你們一定要喝！因為你看，在那稱為我名下的城我既開始降了災禍，你們能全然免受刑罰麼？你們必不能免受刑罰，因為我要呼喚刀劍來責罰這地所有的居民：這是萬軍之永恆主發神諭說的。」
