ירמיהו, פרק כ״א, פסוק ו׳

A heavy punishment awaits those remaining in the city, bringing broad and indiscriminate harm. The warning of a strike against the inhabitants is absolute, encompassing everyone and everything residing there, sweeping up both people and animals alike [מצודת דוד]. The exact nature of this strike is clearly defined as a massive, deadly plague that will claim the lives of those trapped inside [מצודת דוד].
