24:020:012 But, O lord of hosts, that triest the righteous, and seest the
           reins and the heart, let me see thy vengeance on them:  for
           unto thee have I opened my cause.

24:020:013 Sing unto the lord, praise ye the lord:  for he hath delivered
           the soul of the poor from the hand of evildoers.

24:020:014 Cursed be the day wherein I was born:  let not the day wherein
           my mother bare me be blessed.

24:020:015 Cursed be the man who brought tidings to my father, saying, A
           man child is born unto thee; making him very glad.

24:020:016 And let that man be as the cities which the lord overthrew,
           and repented not:  and let him hear the cry in the morning, and
           the shouting at noontide;

24:020:017 Because he slew me not from the womb; or that my mother might
           have been my grave, and her womb to be always great with me.

24:020:018 Wherefore came I forth out of the womb to see labour and
           sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame?

24:021:001 The word which came unto Jeremiah from the lord, when king
           Zedekiah sent unto him Pashur the son of Melchiah, and
           Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest, saying,

24:021:002 Enquire, I pray thee, of the lord for us; for Nebuchadrezzar
           king of Babylon maketh war against us; if so be that the lord
           will deal with us according to all his wondrous works, that he
           may go up from us.

24:021:003 Then said Jeremiah unto them, Thus shall ye say to Zedekiah: 

24:021:004 Thus saith the lord God of Israel; Behold, I will turn back
           the weapons of war that are in your hands, wherewith ye fight
           against the king of Babylon, and against the Chaldeans, which
           besiege you without the walls, and I will assemble them into
           the midst of this city.

24:021:005 And I myself will fight against you with an outstretched hand
           and with a strong arm, even in anger, and in fury, and in
           great wrath.

24:021:006 And I will smite the inhabitants of this city, both man and
           beast:  they shall die of a great pestilence.

24:021:007 And afterward, saith the lord, I will deliver Zedekiah king of
           Judah, and his servants, and the people, and such as are left
           in this city from the pestilence, from the sword, and from the
           famine, into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and
           into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those
           that seek their life:  and he shall smite them with the edge of
           the sword; he shall not spare them, neither have pity, nor
           have mercy.
