*
Then Jeremiah said to Zedekiah , "
Thus says the LORD ,
the God of hosts ,
the God of Israel : "
If you surely surrender to the king of Babylon '
s princes ,
then your soul shall live ;
this city shall not be burned with fire ,
and you and your house shall live .
*
But if you do not surrender to the king of Babylon '
s princes ,
then this city shall be given into the hand of the Chaldeans ;
they shall burn it with fire ,
and you shall not escape from their hand ."'
*
And Zedekiah the king said to Jeremiah , "
I am afraid of the Jews who have defected to the Chaldeans ,
lest they deliver me into their hand ,
and they abuse me ."
*
But Jeremiah said , "
They shall not deliver you .
Please ,
obey the voice of the LORD which I speak to you .
So it shall be well with you ,
and your soul shall live .
