Yeremia 43:11

43:11 He will come and attack Egypt. Those who are destined to die of disease will die of disease. Those who are destined to be carried off into exile will be carried off into exile. Those who are destined to die in war will die in war. ¹ 

Yehezkiel 31:14

31:14 For this reason no watered trees will grow so tall; their tops will not reach into the clouds, nor will the well-watered ones grow that high. ²  For all of them have been appointed to die in the lower parts of the earth; ³  they will be among mere mortals, ⁴  with those who descend to the pit.

[43:11]  ¹ tn As in 15:2 the Hebrew is very brief and staccato-like: “those to death to death, and those to captivity to captivity, and those to the sword to the sword.” As in 15:2 most commentaries and English versions assume that the word “death” refers to death by disease. See the translator’s note on 15:2 and compare also 18:21 where the sword is distinctly connected with “war” or “battle” and is distinct from “killed by death [i.e., disease].”

[31:14]  ² tn Heb “and they will not stand to them in their height, all the drinkers of water.”

[31:14]  ³ tn Heb “for death, to the lower earth.”

[31:14]  ⁴ tn Heb “the sons of men.”
