那時我必使猶大城市中和耶路撒冷街上歡躍的聲音和喜樂的聲音、新郎的聲音和新婦的聲音、都止息住；因為這地必變為荒廢之處。

人必將你所有的后妃和你的兒女都帶出到迦勒底人那裏；你自己也不能逃脫他們的手；你乃是要被巴比倫王的手捉住；這城也必被火焚燒。』

耶利米對西底家說：『永恆主萬軍之上帝以色列之上帝這麼說：你若毅然出去歸降巴比倫王的首領，你的性命就得以活着，這城也不至於被火焚燒，你和你的家就得以活着。

但哪一國肯將脖子放在巴比倫王的軛下、去服事他的，我必使那國仍留在自己的土地上，去耕種，去住在那裏：這是永恆主發神諭說的。』」』對猶大王西底家我也照這一切話告訴他說：『要把你們的脖子放在巴比倫王的軛下、去服事他和他的人民，以得存活。你和你人民為甚麼硬要由刀劍、饑荒、和瘟疫、去死亡，像永恆主論到那不服事巴比倫王的那種國所說的話呢？
