9 The one sitting still in this city will die by the sword and by the famine and by the pestilence;+ but the one who is going out and who actually falls away* to the Chal·deʹans who are laying siege against YOU will keep living, and his soul will certainly come to be his as a spoil.”’+

10 And I will send against them the sword,+ the famine+ and the pestilence,+ until they come to their finish off the ground that I gave to them and to their forefathers.”’”+

11 And he must come in and strike the land of Egypt.+ Whoever is [due] for deadly plague will be for deadly plague, and whoever is [due] for captivity will be for captivity, and whoever is [due] for the sword will be for the sword.+
