gltv - Jeremiah:38:14-28

gltv@Jeremiah:38:14 @ And Zedekiah the king sent and took the prophet to him, into the third entrance in the house of Jehovah. And the king said to Jeremiah, I will ask you a thing; do not hide a thing from me.

gltv@Jeremiah:38:15 @ And said to Zedekiah, If I declare it to you, will you not surely put me to death? And if I counsel you, you will not listen to me.

gltv@Jeremiah:38:16 @ And Zedekiah the king swore secretly to Jeremiah, saying, As Jehovah lives, who made us this soul, I will not put you to death, nor will I give you into the hand of these men who seek your life.

gltv@Jeremiah:38:17 @ And said to Zedekiah, So says Jehovah, the God of Hosts, the God of Israel: If going out you will go out to the rulers of the king of Babylon, then your soul shall live, and this city shall not be burned with fire. And you and your house shall live.

gltv@Jeremiah:38:18 @ But if you will not go out to the rulers of the king of Babylon, even this city shall be given into the hands of the Chaldeans, and they will burn it with fire. And you shall not escape out of their hand.

gltv@Jeremiah:38:19 @ And Zedekiah the king said to Jeremiah, I am afraid of the Jews who have fallen to the Chaldeans, lest they deliver me to their hand and they abuse me.

gltv@Jeremiah:38:20 @ And said, They will not give. Please obey the voice of Jehovah which I am speaking to you, and it will be well with you and your soul will live.

gltv@Jeremiah:38:21 @ But if you refuse to go out, this is the word Jehovah has made me see:

gltv@Jeremiah:38:22 @ Even, behold, all the women who are left in the house of the king of Judah shall be brought out to the rulers of the king of Babylon. And they will say, The men of your peace have seduced you and have prevailed against you; your feet have sunk in the mire, and they turned back.

gltv@Jeremiah:38:23 @ And they shall bring out all your wives and your sons to the Chaldeans. And you shall not escape out of their hand, but shall be seized by the hand of the king of Babylon. And this city shall be burned with fire.

gltv@Jeremiah:38:24 @ And Zedekiah said to Jeremiah, Let not a man know of these words, and you shall not die.

gltv@Jeremiah:38:25 @ But if the rulers hear that I have talked with you, and they come to you and say to you, Now tell us what you said to the king; do not hide it from us and we will not put you to death; also, What did the king say to you?

gltv@Jeremiah:38:26 @ Then you shall say to them, I was presenting my plea before the king, that he should not return me to the house of Jonathan, to die there.

gltv@Jeremiah:38:27 @ And all the rulers came to and asked him. And he told them according to all these words that the king had ordered. And they were silent with him, for the matter was not heard.

gltv@Jeremiah:38:28 @ And dwelt in the court of the guardhouse until the day Jerusalem was captured. And he was there when Jerusalem was captured.
