17Then JeremiahH3414 saidH559 to ZedekiahH6667, “ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068 1GodH430 of hostsH6635, the 2GodH430 of IsraelH3478, ‘IfH518 you will indeedH3318 3goH3318 out to the officersH8269 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, then 4you will liveH2421, thisH2088 cityH5892 will not be burnedH8313 with fireH784, and you and your householdH1004 will 5surviveH2421.
18But ifH518 you will 6not goH3318 out to the officersH8269 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, then thisH2088 cityH5892 7will be givenH5414 over to the handH3027 of the ChaldeansH3778; and they will burnH8313 it with fireH784, and 8you yourselfH859 will not escapeH4422 from their handH3027.’”
19Then KingH4428 ZedekiahH6667 saidH559 to JeremiahH3414, “I 9dreadH1672 the JewsH3064 whoH834 have 1011goneH5307 overH5307 to the ChaldeansH3778, for they may giveH5414 me over into their handH3027 and they will 12abuseH5953 me.”
