     [ Illustration: Today's painting depicts a plague, such as the one which was predicted in today's chapter. However, unlike the scene in the painting, the plague victims in Jeremiah's time would have no aid. ]



SPECIAL NOTE:

[ I will again be working through the Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation. I will be adding links, resources, images, and the like, upgrading the former work-through which began with the 2013-10-12 posting which can be found, along with the full Genesis to Revelation postings, in the Archive Page. Postings will be at midnight Eastern Time, as I am able. However, no chapters will be skipped, even though a posting may be late. And all postings will be housed in the Archive Page. ]



     Explanation: In Jeremiah 21, the LORD announced that a plague was coming upon Jerusalem together with an attack by Nebuchadrezzar (= Nebuchadnezzar). Zedekiah, King of Judah, sent Pashur and Zephaniah to Jeremiah to ask if the LORD would remove Nebuchadrezzar from them (1-3).
     But the LORD said that he would, instead, turn back the weapons of war which Zedekiah and his troops were using; the Chaldeans would enter the city; the LORD himself would fight against them; and man and beast would die of the plague (4-6).
     Afterward, the survivors of the plague would die unless they left the city and surrendered to the Chaldeans (7-9).
     These things would happen because the LORD set his face against the city; so he calls upon Zedekiah and the house of David to execute judgment, and deliver the oppressed lest the LORD's fury come upon them, because he is against them and will punish them according to the fruit of their doings (10-14).

RESOURCES

PLEASE NOTE: Use the resources on this and other sites thoughtfully, particularly the commentaries and encyclopedias. I have attempted to list conservative, scholarly resources. However, some providers use liberal or liberal-influenced commentaries such as the Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges (in Bible Hub). Such commentaries are undoubtedly included by the provider for the wealth of useful information and comments which they provide. By consulting several commentaries, it should be fairly easy to sort out the wheat from the chaff. If, however, you would like personal assistance, write to me at AD LIB ARTS EMAIL.

     1 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, 2 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.

     3 Then said Jeremiah unto them, Thus shall ye say to Zedekiah: 4 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 [the ones besieging upon you] without the walls, and I will assemble them into the midst of this city. 5 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. 6 And I will smite the inhabitants of this city, both man and beast: they shall die of a great pestilence. 7 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 [cover over them], neither have pity, nor have mercy.

     8 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. 9 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. 10 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.

     11 And touching the house of the king of Judah, say, Hear ye the word of the LORD; 12 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 [from before] the evil of your doings.


13 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?
14 But I will punish you [And I will visit upon 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.
