He that abideth in this city shall die by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence: but he that goeth out, and falleth to the Chaldeans that besiege you, he shall live, and his life shall be to him for a (e) prize.
(e) As a thing recovered from extreme danger, (Jeremiah 37:2; Jeremiah 39:18; Jeremiah 45:5).
