21:4

כֹּה־אָמַר יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל הִנְנִי מֵסֵב אֶת־כְּלֵי הַמִּלְחָמָה אֲשֶׁר בְּיֶדְכֶם אֲשֶׁר אַתֶּם נִלְחָמִים בָּם אֶת־מֶלֶךְ בָּבֶל וְאֶת־הַכַּשְׂדִּים הַצָּרִים עֲלֵיכֶם מִחוּץ לַחוֹמָה וְאָסַפְתִּי אוֹתָם אֶל־תּוֹךְ הָעִיר הַזֹּֽאת׃

Thus says the Lord God of Yisra᾽el; Behold, I will turn back the weapons of war that are in your hands, with which you fight against the king of Bavel, and against the Kasdim, who besiege you outside the walls, and I will assemble them into the midst of this city.

Rashi

הנני מסב את כלי המלחמה. יש בכם היודעי' להשביע את השרים של מעלה הממונים על הפורעניות להציל איש איש מן הרעה שהוא ממונה עליה ובכך אתם בוטחי' הנני מיסב את השררה של זה לזה ולא תדעו על מי תשביעו:

ואספתי אותם. כלי מלחמה אל תוך העיר הזאת שאשחית אתכם בדבר ע"י מלאך המות שהוא מן השרים העליונים וכן מפורש בענין בדבר גדול ימותו:

וְנִלְחַמְתִּי אֲנִי אִתְּכֶם בְּיָד נְטוּיָה וּבִזְרוֹעַ חֲזָקָה וּבְאַף וּבְחֵמָה וּבְקֶצֶף גָּדֽוֹל׃

וְאַחֲרֵי־כֵן נְאֻם־יְהֹוָה אֶתֵּן אֶת־צִדְקִיָּהוּ מֶלֶךְ־יְהוּדָה וְאֶת־עֲבָדָיו ׀ וְאֶת־הָעָם וְאֶת־הַנִּשְׁאָרִים בָּעִיר הַזֹּאת מִן־הַדֶּבֶר ׀ מִן־הַחֶרֶב וּמִן־הָרָעָב בְּיַד נְבוּכַדְרֶאצַּר מֶלֶךְ־בָּבֶל וּבְיַד אֹֽיְבֵיהֶם וּבְיַד מְבַקְשֵׁי נַפְשָׁם וְהִכָּם לְפִי־חֶרֶב לֹא־יָחוּס עֲלֵיהֶם וְלֹא יַחְמֹל וְלֹא יְרַחֵֽם׃

And afterwards, says the Lord, I will deliver Żidqiyyahu king of Yehuda, and his servants, and the people, and such as are left over in this city from the pestilence, from the sword, and from the famine, into the hand of Nevukhadreżżar king of Bavel, and into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those that seek their life: and he shall smite them with the edge of the sword; he shall not spare them, neither have pity, nor have mercy.

הַיֹּשֵׁב בָּעִיר הַזֹּאת יָמוּת בַּחֶרֶב וּבָרָעָב וּבַדָּבֶר וְהַיּוֹצֵא וְנָפַל עַל־הַכַּשְׂדִּים הַצָּרִים עֲלֵיכֶם (יחיה) [וְחָיָה] וְהָיְתָה־לּוֹ נַפְשׁוֹ לְשָׁלָֽל׃

Rashi

והיתה לו נפשו לשלל. כאדם השולל שלל וחוטפו והולך לו כן תהיה לי נפשו שלולה מן המיתה מן ההורגים:

21:10

כִּי שַׂמְתִּי פָנַי בָּעִיר הַזֹּאת לְרָעָה וְלֹא לְטוֹבָה נְאֻם־יְהֹוָה בְּיַד־מֶלֶךְ בָּבֶל תִּנָּתֵן וּשְׂרָפָהּ בָּאֵֽשׁ׃ {ס}        

For I have set my face against this city for evil, and not for good, says the Lord: it shall be given into the hand of the king of Bavel, and he shall burn it with fire.
