Jeremiah 27:13

13 There is no reason why you and your people should die in war ^{▼▼ Heb “with/by the sword.”} or from starvation or disease! ^{▼▼ Heb “Why should you and your people die…?” The rhetorical question expects the answer made explicit in the translation, “There is no reason!”} That’s what the Lord says will happen to any nation ^{▼▼ Heb “…disease according to what the Lord spoke concerning the nation that…”} that will not be subject to the king of Babylon.
