Jeremiah 38:17-23

17And JeremiahH3414 saidH559 unto ZedekiahH6667, ThusH3541 saith Jehovah the 1GodH430 of hostsH6635, the 2GodH430 of IsraelH3478: If thou wilt freely goH3318 forthH3318 to the kingH4428 of Babylon's princesH8269, then thy soulH5315 shall liveH2421, and this cityH5892 shall not be burnedH8313 with fireH784; and thou shalt liveH2421, and thy houseH1004.

18But if thou wilt not goH3318 forthH3318 to the kingH4428 of Babylon's princesH8269, then shall this cityH5892 be givenH5414 into the handH3027 of the ChaldeansH3778, and they shall burnH8313 it with fireH784, and thou shalt not escapeH4422 out of their handH3027.

19And kingH4428 ZedekiahH6667 saidH559 unto JeremiahH3414, I am afraid of the JewsH3064 that have deserted to the ChaldeansH3778, lestH6435 they giveH5414 me over into their handH3027, and they mock me.

20And JeremiahH3414 saidH559, They shall not giveH5414 [thee] over. Hearken, I beseech thee, unto the voiceH6963 of Jehovah, in that which I speakH1696 unto thee; so shall it be wellH3190 unto thee, and thy soulH5315 shall liveH2421.

21But if thou refuse to goH3318 forthH3318, this is the wordH1697 which Jehovah hath shewn me:

22Behold, all the womenH802 that are leftH7604 in the kingH4428 of Judah's houseH1004 shall be broughtH3318 forthH3318 to the kingH4428 of Babylon's princesH8269; and they shall sayH559, Thy familiar friends have set thee on, and have prevailedH3201 over thee; thy feetH7272 are sunkH2883 in the mire, they are turnedH5472 away backH268.

23And they shall bringH3318 out all thy wivesH802 and thy children to the ChaldeansH3778, and thou shalt not escapeH4422 out of their handH3027; for thou shalt be taken by the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and thou shalt cause this cityH5892 to be burnedH8313 with fireH784.
