Thus saith Jehovah, He that abideth in this city shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence; but he that goeth forth to the Chaldeans shall live, and his life shall be unto him for a prey, and he shall live.

These are the words of the Lord: Whoever goes on living in this town will come to his death by the sword or through need of food or by disease: but whoever goes out to the Chaldaeans will keep his life out of the power of the attackers and be safe.

Ουτω λεγει Κυριος· Οστις καθηται εν τη πολει ταυτη, θελει αποθανει υπο μαχαιρας, υπο πεινης και υπο λοιμου· αλλ' οστις εξελθη προς τους Χαλδαιους, θελει ζησει· και η ζωη αυτου θελει εισθαι ως λαφυρον εις αυτον, και θελει ζησει·

Thus saith the Lord, He that remaineth in this city shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence: but he that goeth forth to the Chaldeans shall live; for he shall have his life for a prey, and shall live.
