Jeremiah 38:19-24

19And ZedekiahH6667 the kingH4428 saidH559 unto JeremiahH3414, I am afraid of the JewsH3064 that are fallenH5307 awayH5307 to the ChaldeansH3778, lestH6435 they deliverH5414 meH413 intoH413 their handH3027, and they mock meH413.

20But JeremiahH3414 saidH559, They shall notH3808 deliverH5414 thee. ObeyH8085, I beseechH4994 thee, the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068, in that whichH834 I speakH1696 unto thee: soH5414 it shall be wellH3190 with thee, and thy soulH5315 shall liveH2421.

21But ifH518 thou refuseH3986 to goH3318 forthH3318, this is the wordH1697 that the LORDH3068 hath shewed meH7200:

22beholdH2009, allH3605 the womenH802 that are leftH7604 in the kingH4428 of Judah’sH3063 houseH1004 shall be broughtH3318 forthH3318 to the kingH4428 of Babylon’sH894 princesH8269, and thoseH3605 womenH802 shall sayH559, Thy familiar friends have setH3318 thee on, and have prevailedH3201 over thee: nowH2009 that thy feetH7272 are sunkH2883 in the mireH1206: they are turnedH5472 awayH3318 backH268.

23And they shall bringH3318 outH3318 allH3605 thy wivesH802 and thy childrenH1121 to the ChaldeansH3778: and thou shalt notH3808 escapeH4422 outH3318 of their handH3027, but shalt be takenH8610 by the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894: and thou shalt cause this cityH5892 to be burnedH8313 with fireH784.

24Then saidH559 ZedekiahH6667 unto JeremiahH3414, LetH408 noH3808 manH376 knowH3045 of theseH428 wordsH1697, and thou shalt notH3808 dieH4191.
