@ Then
Jeremiah
said
unto
Zedekiah
, If I
declare
it unto thee, wilt thou not
surely
put me to
death
? and if I give thee
counsel
, wilt thou not
hearken
unto me?
strkjv@Jeremiah:38:16
@ So
Zedekiah
the
king
sware
secretly
unto
Jeremiah
,
saying
, As the
LORD
liveth
, that
made
us this
soul
, I will not put thee to
death
, neither will I
give
thee into the
hand
of these
men
that
seek
thy
life
.
strkjv@Jeremiah:38:17
@ Then
said
Jeremiah
unto
Zedekiah
, Thus
saith
the
LORD
, the
God
of
hosts
, the
God
of
Israel
; If thou wilt
assuredly
go
forth
unto the
king
of
Babylons
princes
, then thy
soul
shall
live
, and this
city
shall not be
burned
with
fire
; and thou shalt
live
, and thine
house
:
strkjv@Jeremiah:38:18
@ But if thou wilt not go
forth
to the
king
of
Babylons
princes
, then shall this
city
be
given
into the
hand
of the
Chaldeans
, and they shall
burn
it with
fire
, and thou shalt not escape
out
of their
hand
.
strkjv@Jeremiah:38:19
@ And
Zedekiah
the
king
said
unto
Jeremiah
, I am
afraid
of the
Jews
that are
fallen
to the
Chaldeans
, lest they
deliver
me into their
hand
, and they
mock
me.
strkjv@Jeremiah:38:20
@ But
Jeremiah
said
, They shall not
deliver
thee.
Obey
, I beseech thee, the
voice
of the
LORD
, which I
speak
unto thee: so it shall be
well
unto thee, and thy
soul
shall
live
.
strkjv@Jeremiah:38:21
@ But if thou
refuse
to go
forth
, this is the
word
that the
LORD
hath
shewed
me:
strkjv@Jeremiah:38:22
@ And, behold, all the
women
that are
left
in the
king
of
Judahs
house
shall be brought
forth
to the
king
of
Babylons
princes
, and those women shall
say
, Thy
friends
H7965have set thee
on
, and have
prevailed
against thee: thy
feet
are
sunk
in the
mire
, and they are turned
away
back
.
strkjv@Jeremiah:38:23
@ So they shall bring
out
all thy
wives
and thy
children
to the
Chaldeans
: and thou shalt not escape
out
of their
hand
, but shalt be
taken
by the
hand
of the
king
of
Babylon
: and thou shalt cause this
city
to be
burned
with
fire
.
strkjv@Jeremiah:38:24
@ Then
said
Zedekiah
unto
Jeremiah
, Let no
man
know
of these
words
, and thou shalt not
die
.
strkjv@Jeremiah:38:25
@ But if the
princes
hear
that I have
talked
with thee, and they
come
unto thee, and
say
unto thee,
Declare
unto us now what thou hast
said
unto the
king
,
hide
it not from us, and we will not put thee to
death
; also what the
king
said
unto thee:
strkjv@Jeremiah:38:26
@ Then thou shalt
say
unto them, I
presented
my
supplication
before
the
king
, that he would not cause me to
return
to
Jonathans
house
, to
die
there.
strkjv@Jeremiah:38:27
@ Then
came
all the
princes
unto
Jeremiah
, and
asked
him: and he
told
them according to all these
words
that the
king
had
commanded
. So they left off
speaking
with him; for the
matter
was not
perceived
.
strkjv@Jeremiah:38:28
@ So
Jeremiah
abode
in the
court
of the
prison
until the
day
that
Jerusalem
was
taken
: and he was there when
Jerusalem
was
taken
.
