rotherham@Jeremiah:38:2 @ Thus saith Yahweh, He that remaineth in this city shall die, by sword by famine, or by pestilence, whereas, he that goeth forth unto the Chaldeans, shall live, so shall he have his life for a spoil, and shall live.
rotherham@Jeremiah:38:3 @ Thus, saith Yahweh, This city shall surely be given, into the hand of the force of the king of Babylon, and he shall capture it.
rotherham@Jeremiah:38:4 @ Then said the princes unto the king, Let this man we pray thee, be put to death, for in this way, is he weakening the hands of the men of war who are left in this, city, and the hands of all the people, by speaking unto them such words as these; for, this man, is not seeking prosperity for this people but misfortune.
rotherham@Jeremiah:38:5 @ Then said King Zedekiah, Lo! he is in your hand; for the king is not one who is able to do anything against you.
rotherham@Jeremiah:38:6 @ Then took they Jeremiah and cast him into the dungeon of Malchiah son of the king, which was in the guard-court, and they let Jeremiah down with ropes, now, in the dungeon, was no water only mire, so Jeremiah sank in the mire.

rotherham@Jeremiah:38:9 @ My lord, O King! wickedly, have these men done all that they haw done to Jeremiah the prophet, whom indeed they have cast into the dungeon, since he would have died where he was because of the famine, for there is no bread any longer, in the city.

rotherham@Jeremiah:38:18 @ But, if thou wilt not go forth unto the princes of the king of Babylon, then shall this city be delivered into the hand of the Chaldeans, and they shall burn it with fire, and, thou, shalt not escape out of their hand.
rotherham@Jeremiah:38:19 @ Then said King Zedekiah unto Jeremiah: I am afraid of the Jews who have fallen away unto the Chaldeans, lest they deliver me, into their hand, and they maltreat me.
rotherham@Jeremiah:38:20 @ But Jeremiah said, They shall not deliver!Hearken I pray thee unto the voice of Yahweh in what I am speaking unto thee, that it may be well with thee and thy soul live.

rotherham@Jeremiah:38:22 @ behold, then, all the women that are left in the house of the king of Judah, brought forth unto the princes of the king of Babylon, and, these very women, saying, The men thou wast wont to salute, have goaded thee on and prevailed upon thee, Thy foot having sunk in the mire, they have turned away back.
rotherham@Jeremiah:38:23 @ Yea thou shalt behold all thy wives and thy children brought forth unto the Chaldeans, and thou, shalt not escape out of their hand, but by the hand of the king of Babylon, shalt thou be taken, and, this city, shall be burned with fire.
rotherham@Jeremiah:38:24 @ Then said Zedekiah unto Jeremiah Do not let, any man, know of these words, and thou shalt not die.
rotherham@Jeremiah:38:25 @ But, when the princes hear that I have spoken with thee and they come in unto thee and say unto thee Do tell us we pray thee what thou didst speak unto the king, do not hide it from us so will we not put thee to death, and what spake the king unto, thee?
rotherham@Jeremiah:38:26 @ Then shalt thou say unto them, I was causing my supplication to fall prostrate before the king, that he would not cause me to return to the house of Jonathan, to die there.
