Jeremiah 38:3-5

Darby Translation

³ Thus saith Jehovah: This city shall certainly be given into the hand of the king of Babylon's army, and he shall take it.

⁴ And the princes said unto the king, Let this man, we pray thee, be put to death; for why should he weaken the hands of the men of war that remain in this city, and the hands of all the people, in speaking to them according to these words? for this man seeketh not the welfare of this people, but the hurt.

⁵ And king Zedekiah said, Behold, he is in your hand; for the king is not he that can do a thing against you.
