Jeremiah 21:7

And afterward, saith the Lord, I will deliver Zedekiah, king of Judah, and his servants, and the people, the inhabitants in general, and such as are left in this city from the pestilence, from the sword, and from the famine, the survivors after the coming of these great scourges, into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, and into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those that seek their life, the inevitable doom being brought out in these expressions, and he shall smite them with the edge of the sword, in a relentless slaughter; he shall not spare them, neither have pity nor have mercy. Cf Deuteronomy 29:29; 2 Kings 25:6; Ezekiel 12:13. Thus did Zedekiah receive his answer in agreement with his actions and his state of mind, for he did evil in the sight of the Lord.
