Jeremiah 38:20-22
In verses 20 and 22, Jeremiah reiterates his position as God's prophet, at the same time reassuring the king, imploring him to obey. Jeremiah urges the king to obey God, turning away from his "friends," Judah's princes of whom he has so much fear. Zedekiah's feet are immersed in mud, or a bog, as in quicksand. He cannot move.
