Jeremiah 38:18 - Forerunner Commentary

Jeremiah 38:18

16 So Zedekiah the king swore secretly to Jeremiah, saying, “As the Lord lives, ^awho made our very souls, I will not put you to death, nor will I give you into the hand of these men who seek your life.”

17 Then Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, “Thus says the Lord, the God of hosts, the God of Israel: ‘If you surely ^asurrender ^bto 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.

18 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 ^ayou shall not escape from their hand.’ ”

19 And Zedekiah the king said to Jeremiah, “I am afraid of the Jews who have ^adefected to the Chaldeans, lest they deliver me into their hand, and they ^babuse me.”

20 But Jeremiah said, “They shall not deliver you. Please, obey the voice of the Lord which I speak to you. So it shall be ^awell with you, and your soul shall live.
