Jeremiah 38:3

"“The LORD says, ‘He who remains in this city will die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, but he who goes out to the Chaldeans will live. He will escape with his life and he will live.’"

Key Reflection

This verse conveys a dire prophecy: those who stay in the city face multiple forms of death—by sword, famine, or pestilence. Conversely, those who surrender to the Chaldeans will survive, emphasizing the choice between destruction and life through submission to divine will.
