The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD, when King Zedekiah sent to him Pashhur the son of Malchijah, and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah, the priest, saying, See also: Jeremiah 29:25Jeremiah 37:3Jeremiah 38:1“Please inquire of the LORD for us; for Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon makes war against us. Perhaps the LORD will deal with us according to all his wondrous works, that he may withdraw from us.” See also: Jeremiah 37:3Ezekiel 20:1-3Jeremiah 37:7Then Jeremiah said to them, “Tell Zedekiah: ‘The LORD, the God of Israel says, “Behold, I will turn back the weapons of war that are in your hands, with which you fight against the king of Babylon, and against the Chaldeans who besiege you outside the walls; and I will gather them into the middle of this city. See also: Isaiah 13:4Isaiah 5:5Jeremiah 37:8-10I myself will fight against you with an outstretched hand and with a strong arm, even in anger, in wrath, and in great indignation. See also: Isaiah 63:10Isaiah 5:25Exodus 6:6I will strike the inhabitants of this city, both man and animal. They will die of a great pestilence. See also: Hosea 4:3Ezekiel 14:13Isaiah 6:11Afterward,” says the LORD, “I will deliver Zedekiah king of Judah, his servants, and the people, even those who are left in this city from the pestilence, from the sword, and from the famine, into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those who seek their life. He will strike them with the edge of the sword. He will not spare them, have pity, or have mercy.”’ See also: Jeremiah 37:172 Kings 25:5-7Habakkuk 1:6-10“You shall say to this people, ‘The LORD says: “Behold, I set before you the way of life and the way of death. See also: Deuteronomy 30:19Deuteronomy 30:15Deuteronomy 11:26He who remains in this city will die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, but he who goes out and passes over to the Chaldeans who besiege you, he will live, and he will escape with his life. See also: Jeremiah 38:2Jeremiah 39:18Jeremiah 45:5For I have set my face on this city for evil, and not for good,” says the LORD. “It will be given into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will burn it with fire.”’ See also: Jeremiah 44:11Amos 9:4Jeremiah 44:27“Concerning the house of the king of Judah, hear the LORD’s word: See also: Jeremiah 17:20Micah 3:1Jeremiah 13:18House of David, the LORD says, ‘Execute justice in the morning, and deliver him who is robbed out of the hand of the oppressor, lest my wrath go out like fire, and burn so that no one can quench it, because of the evil of your doings. See also: Isaiah 1:17Jeremiah 4:4Proverbs 31:8-9Behold, I am against you, O inhabitant of the valley, and of the rock of the plain,’ says the LORD. ‘You that say, “Who would come down against us?” or, “Who would enter into our homes?” See also: Lamentations 4:12Ezekiel 13:8Obadiah 1:3-4I will punish you according to the fruit of your doings,’ says the LORD; ‘and I will kindle a fire in her forest, and it will devour all that is around her.’” See also: Isaiah 3:10-11Proverbs 1:31Jeremiah 32:19

Notes in English 19th-century Catholic commentary by Fr. George Leo Haydock, shown as published.
These notes keep the polemics of their time: some speak harshly of the Jewish people or of other Christians. The Church teaches otherwise today. The Jewish people may not be blamed for the death of Christ (Nostra Aetate 4; Catechism 597–598), and Christians of other communities are our brothers and sisters in the Lord (Unitatis Redintegratio 3).
