THE MESSAGE OF YIRME YAH TO SIDQI YAH
So be the word to Yirme Yah from Yah Veh when sovereign Sidqi Yah sends Pashchur the son of Malki Yah and Sephan Yah the son of Maase Yah the priest to him, saying, 2 Enquire, I beseech you, of Yah Veh for us; for Nebukadnets Tsar sovereign of Babel fights us: perhaps Yah Veh works with us according to all his marvellous works, and ascends him from us. 3 Then says Yirme Yah to them, Say thus to Sidqi Yah: 4 Thus says Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El: Behold, I turn back the vessels of war in your hands with which you fight the sovereign of Babel and the Kesediym who besiege you outside the walls; and I gather them midst this city: 5 and I - I fight you with a spread hand and with a strong arm - in wrath and in fury and in great rage: 6 and I smite the settlers of this city - both human and animal that they die of a great pestilence. 7 And afterward - an oracle of Yah Veh I give Sidqi Yah sovereign of Yah Hudah and his servants and the people and such as survive in this city from the pestilence and from the sword and from the famine into the hand of Nebukadnets Tsar sovereign of Babel - and into the hand of their enemies and into the hand of them who seek their soul: and he smites them with the mouth of the sword; he neither spares them - neither spares nor mercies. 8 And to this people you say, Thus says Yah Veh; Behold, I give at your face the way of life and the way of death. 9 He who settles in this city dies by the sword and by the famine and by the pestilence: and he who goes out and falls to the Kesediym who besiege you, he lives: and his soul becomes to him for a spoil. 10 For I set my face against this city for evil and not for good; - an oracle of Yah Veh: - given into the hand of the sovereign of Babel and he burns it with fire. 11 And as to the house of the sovereign of Yah Hudah: Hear the word of Yah Veh: 12 O house of David, thus says Yah Veh: Plead the cause in the morning and rescue the stripped from the hand of the oppressor lest my fury go out as fire and burns so no one can quench at the face of the evil of your exploits. 13 Behold, I am against you, O settler of the valley and rock of the plain - an oracle of Yah Veh who say, Who descends against us? or, Who enters into our habitations? 14 And I visit on you according to the fruit of your exploits - an oracle of Yah Veh and I kindle a fire in the forest and it consumes all around it.
