Why will ye die, thou and thy people, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, as the LORD hath spoken against the nation that will not serve the king of Babylon?

The verse 13 is found in chapter 27 of Jeremiah. The message is also directed to Zedekiah, the priests, and the people: accepting the Babylonian yoke is presented as the way to preserve life. Prophets who announce the immediate return of the temple vessels are denounced. The time of restoration belongs to God and cannot be accelerated by human proclamations.

Warum wollt ihr sterben, du und dein Volk, durch Schwert, Hunger und Pestilenz, wie denn der HERR geredet hat über das Volk, so dem König zu Babel nicht dienen will?
¿Por qué moriréis, tú y tu pueblo, a cuchillo, de hambre, y pestilencia, según ha dicho Jehová a la gente que no sirviere al rey de Babilonia?
¿Por qué han de morir tú y tu pueblo por la espada, el hambre y la peste, como ha dicho Jehová de la nación que no sirva al rey de Babilonia?
Pourquoi mourriez-vous, toi et ton peuple, par l'épée, par la famine et par la peste, comme l'Eternel l'a prononcé sur la nation qui ne se soumettra pas au roi de Babylone?
Perchè morreste, tu e il tuo popolo, per la spada, per la fame, e per la pestilenza, come il Signore ha pronunziato contro alla gente che non servirà al re di Babilonia?
Por que morrerias tu e o teu povo, à espada, e à fome, e de peste, como o SENHOR disse contra a nação que não servir ao rei de Babilônia?
你和你的百姓何必因刀劍、饑荒、瘟疫而死亡,像耶和華所論不肯服事 巴比倫 王的國家呢?
