Jeremiah 38:17-23

17Then JeremiahH3414 saidH559 toH413 ZedekiahH6667, “This is whatH3541 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of HostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, saysH559: ‘IfH518 you indeed surrenderH3318 toH413 the officersH8269 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, then youH5315 will liveH2421, thisH2063 cityH5892 will notH3808 be burned downH8313H784, and youH859 and your householdH1004 will surviveH2421. 18But ifH518 you do notH3808 surrenderH3318 toH413 the officersH8269 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, then thisH2063 cityH5892 will be deliveredH5414 into the handsH3027 of the ChaldeansH3778. They will burn it downH8313H784, and youH859 yourself will notH3808 escapeH4422 their graspH3027.’”

19But KingH4428 ZedekiahH6667 saidH559 toH413 JeremiahH3414, “IH589 am afraidH1672 of the JewsH3064 whoH834 have desertedH5307 toH413 the ChaldeansH3778, forH6435 the Chaldeans may deliverH5414 meH853 into their handsH3027 to abuseH5953 me.”

20“They will notH3808 hand you overH5414,” JeremiahH3414 repliedH559. “ObeyH8085H4994 the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 in whatH834 IH589 am telling youH1696H413, that it may go wellH3190 with you and youH5315 may liveH2421. 21But ifH518 youH859 refuseH3986 to surrenderH3318, thisH2088 is the wordH1697 thatH834 the LORDH3068 has shown meH7200: 22AllH3605 the womenH802 whoH834 remainH7604 in the palaceH1004 of the kingH4428 of JudahH3063 will be brought outH3318 toH413 the officialsH8269 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and thoseH2007 women will sayH559:

23

AllH3605 your wivesH802 andH853 childrenH1121 will be brought outH3318 toH413 the ChaldeansH3778. And youH859 yourself will notH3808 escapeH4422 their graspH3027, forH3588 you will be seizedH8610 byH3027 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and thisH2063 cityH5892 will be burned downH8313H784.”
