Parallel
Jeremiah 38:2
Jewish Publication Society 1917 · Berean Standard Bible
’Thus saith the LORD: He that remaineth in this city shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence; but he that goeth forth to the Chaldeans shall live, and his life shall be unto him for a prey, and he shall live.
“This is what the LORD says: Whoever stays in this city will die by sword and famine and plague, but whoever surrenders to the Chaldeans (note: That is, the Babylonians; also in verses 18, 19, and 23) will live; he will retain his life like a spoil of war, and he will live.
