^{8 Ref} And unto this people thou dost say, Thus said Jehovah: Lo, I am setting before you the way of life, And the way of death!

^{9 Ref} Whoso is abiding in this city -- dieth, By sword, and by famine, and by pestilence, And whoso is going forth, And hath fallen unto the Chaldeans, Who are laying siege against you -- liveth, And his life hath been to him for a spoil.
