Jeremiah 21:11

And touching the house of the king of Judah, say, Hear ye the word of the Lord;
9

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 unto him for a prey.

10

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

11

And touching the house of the king of Judah, say, Hear ye the word of the Lord;

12

O house of David, thus saith the Lord; Execute judgment in the morning, and deliver him that is spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor, lest my fury go out like fire, and burn that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.

13

Behold, I am against thee, O inhabitant of the valley, and rock of the plain, saith the Lord; which say, Who shall come down against us? or who shall enter into our habitations?

Counter-Arguments

The strongest case that this verse does not belong in this theme.

Israel as Distinct

The verse is an address to the "house of the king of Judah," which is a specific political and religious entity within ancient Israel. It does not inherently make a broader theological statement about Israel's distinctness from the Church, nor does it mention promises, land covenants, or future prophetic roles. It's simply a directive to a specific group within the nation of Judah.

Prophecy Fulfilled Literally

This verse is a command to deliver a message, not a prophecy itself, nor does it describe the fulfillment of any prophecy. It merely introduces a forthcoming message to the king of Judah.
