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.

The verse 9 is found in chapter 21 of Jeremiah. Jeremiah presents the responsibility of the king and the house of David in terms of social justice. The throne can remain only when it protects the oppressed and administers justice rightly. The threat against the forest and the city shows that the fire of judgment will reach those who refuse to practice justice.

Wer in dieser Stadt bleibt, der wird sterben müssen durch Schwert, Hunger und Pestilenz; wer aber sich hinausbegibt zu den Chaldäern, die euch belagern, der soll lebendig bleiben und soll sein Leben als eine Ausbeute behalten.
El que se quedare en esta ciudad, morirá a cuchillo, o de hambre, o pestilencia: mas el que saliere, y se pasare a los Caldeos que os tienen cercados, vivirá, y su vida le será por despojo.
Celui qui restera dans cette ville mourra par l'épée, par la famine ou par la peste; mais celui qui sortira pour se rendre aux Chaldéens qui vous assiègent aura la vie sauve, et sa vie sera son butin.
Coloro che dimoreranno in questa città morranno di spada, o di fame, o di pestilenza; ma quelli che andranno ad arrendersi a’ Caldei, i quali vi assediano, viveranno, e l’anima loro sarà loro per ispoglia.
O que ficar nesta cidade há de morrer à espada, ou de fome, ou de pestilência; mas o que sair, e se render aos caldeus, que vos têm cercado, viverá, e terá a sua vida por despojo.
住在這城裏的必遭刀劍、饑荒、瘟疫而死;但出去投降圍困你們之 迦勒底 人的必得存活,保全自己的性命。
