24:021:008 And unto this people thou shalt say, Thus saith the lord;
           Behold, I set before you the way of life, and the way of
           death.

24:021:009 He that abideth in this city shall die by the sword, and by
           the famine, and by the pestilence:  but he that goeth out, and
           falleth to the Chaldeans that besiege you, he shall live, and
           his life shall be unto him for a prey.

24:021:010 For I have set my face against this city for evil, and not for
           good, saith the lord:  it shall be given into the hand of the
           king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire.

24:021:011 And touching the house of the king of Judah, say, Hear ye the
           word of the lord;

24:021:012 O house of David, thus saith the lord; Execute judgment in the
           morning, and deliver him that is spoiled out of the hand of
           the oppressor, lest my fury go out like fire, and burn that
           none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.

24:021:013 Behold, I am against thee, O inhabitant of the valley, and
           rock of the plain, saith the lord; which say, Who shall come
           down against us? or who shall enter into our habitations?

24:021:014 But I will punish you according to the fruit of your doings,
           saith the lord:  and I will kindle a fire in the forest
           thereof, and it shall devour all things round about it.

24:022:001 Thus saith the lord; Go down to the house of the king of
           Judah, and speak there this word,

24:022:002 And say, Hear the word of the lord, O king of Judah, that
           sittest upon the throne of David, thou, and thy servants, and
           thy people that enter in by these gates: 

24:022:003 Thus saith the lord; Execute ye judgment and righteousness,
           and deliver the spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor:  and
           do no wrong, do no violence to the stranger, the fatherless,
           nor the widow, neither shed innocent blood in this place.

24:022:004 For if ye do this thing indeed, then shall there enter in by
           the gates of this house kings sitting upon the throne of
           David, riding in chariots and on horses, he, and his servants,
           and his people.

24:022:005 But if ye will not hear these words, I swear by myself, saith
           the lord, that this house shall become a desolation.

24:022:006 For thus saith the lord unto the king’s house of Judah; Thou
           art Gilead unto me, and the head of Lebanon:  yet surely I will
           make thee a wilderness, and cities which are not inhabited.

24:022:007 And I will prepare destroyers against thee, every one with his
           weapons:  and they shall cut down thy choice cedars, and cast
           them into the fire.
