Jeremiah

Jeremiah 15:1–2

¹Then the LORD said to me: “Even if Moses and Samuel should stand before Me, My heart would not go out to this people. Send them from My presence, and let them go! ²If they ask you, ‘Where shall we go?’ you are to tell them that this is what the LORD says:

‘Those destined for death, to death;

those destined for the sword, to the sword;^a

those destined for famine, to famine;

and those destined for captivity, to captivity.’
