✦ MADE SIMPLE
This is what the Lord says: Anyone who stays in this city is going to die — whether from war, starvation, or disease. But if you surrender to the Babylonians, you'll make it out alive. You'll lose everything else, but you'll keep your life.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
Sometimes survival means letting go of everything you thought you were protecting.
