Jeremiah 38:24
Compare all
22 ‘Now behold, all the awomen who are left in the king of Judah’s house shall be surrendered to the king of Babylon’s princes, and those women shall say:
“Your close friends have1 set upon you
And prevailed against you;
Your feet have sunk in the mire,
And they have1 turned away again.”  
23 ‘So they shall surrender all your wives and achildren to the Chaldeans. bYou shall not escape from their hand, but shall be taken by the hand of the king of Babylon. And you shall cause this city to be burned with fire.’ ”  
24 Then Zedekiah said to Jeremiah, “Let no one know of these words, and you shall not die.
25 But if the princes hear that I have talked with you, and they come to you and say to you, ‘Declare to us now what you have said to the king, and also what the king said to you; do not hide it from us, and we will not put you to death,’
26 then you shall say to them, a‘I presented my request before the king, that he would not make me return bto Jonathan’s house to die there.’ ”  
27 Then all the princes came to Jeremiah and asked him. And he told them according to all these words that the king had commanded. So they stopped speaking with him, for the conversation had not been heard.
28 Now aJeremiah remained in the court of the prison until the day that Jerusalem was taken. And he was there when Jerusalem was taken.
