*
Then said Jeremiah unto Zedekiah ,
Thus saith the LORD ,
the God of hosts ,
the God of Israel Yisra #
el #;
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 :
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
But if thou refuse to go forth ,
this is the word that the LORD hath shewed me :
*
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 .
*
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 .
