8And to this people you shall say, ‘Thus says Yahweh: Behold, I am setting before you the way of life and the way of death.’

9The one who stays in this city will die by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence; but the one who goes out and defects to the Chaldeans who are besieging you will live, and his life will be to him as plunder.

10For I have set my face against this city for harm and not for good, declares Yahweh. It will be given into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will burn it with fire.
