Jeremiah 38:14-22

14Then KingH4428 ZedekiahH6667 1sentH7971 word and 2had JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030 broughtH3947 to him at the thirdH7992 entranceH3996 that is in the houseH1004 of the LordH3068; and the kingH4428 saidH559 to JeremiahH3414, “I am going to 3askH7592 you somethingH1697; do not hideH3582 anythingH1697 from me.” 15And JeremiahH3414 saidH559 to ZedekiahH6667, “4IfH3588 I tellH5046 you, will you not certainlyH4191 putH4191 me toH4191 deathH4191? Besides, ifH3588 I giveH3289 you adviceH3289, you will not listenH8085 to me.” 16But KingH4428 ZedekiahH6667 sworeH7650 to JeremiahH3414 in 5secretH5643, sayingH559, “As the LordH3068 livesH2416, whoH834 madeH6213 thisH2088 67lifeH5315 for us, I certainlyH518 will not putH4191 you toH4191 deathH4191, norH518 will I handH5414H3027 you overH5414 to 8theseH428 menH376 whoH834 are seekingH1245 your 9lifeH5315.”

17So JeremiahH3414 saidH559 to ZedekiahH6667, “ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 10GodH430 of armiesH6635, the 11GodH430 of IsraelH3478 saysH559: ‘IfH518 you will indeedH3318 12surrenderH3318 to the officersH8269 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, then 13you will liveH2421, thisH2088 cityH5892 will not be burnedH8313 with fireH784, and you and your householdH1004 will 14surviveH2421. 18But ifH518 you do 15not surrenderH3318 to the officersH8269 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, then thisH2088 cityH5892 16will be handedH5414H3027 overH5414 to the ChaldeansH3778; and they will burnH8313 it with fireH784, and 17you yourselfH859 will not escapeH4422 from their handsH3027.’” 19Then KingH4428 ZedekiahH6667 saidH559 to JeremiahH3414, “I amH1672 18inH1672 fearH1672 ofH1672 the JewsH3064 whoH834 have 19desertedH5307 to the ChaldeansH3778, for they may handH5414H3027 me overH5414 to them, and they will 20abuseH5953 me.” 20But JeremiahH3414 saidH559, “They will not turnH5414 you overH5414. PleaseH4994 2122obeyH8085H6963 the LordH3068 in whatH834 I am sayingH1696 to you, so that it may goH3190 23wellH3190 for you and 2425you may liveH2421. 21But ifH518 you keep refusingH3985 to surrenderH3318, thisH2088 is the wordH1697 whichH834 the LordH3068 has shownH7200 me: 22‘BeholdH2009, allH3605 of the 26womenH802 whoH834 have been leftH7604 in the palaceH1004 of the kingH4428 of JudahH3063 are going to be broughtH3318 outH3318 to the officersH8269 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894; and thoseH1992 women will sayH559, “27Your closeH7965 friendsH376H7965 Have misledH5496 and overpoweredH3201 you; While your feetH7272 were sunkH2883 in the mireH1206, They turnedH5472 backH268.”
