Jeremiah 38:15-17

Living Bible

¹⁵ Jeremiah said, “If I tell you the truth, you will kill me. And you won’t listen to me anyway.”

¹⁶ So King Zedekiah swore before Almighty God his Creator that he would not kill Jeremiah or give him to the men who were after his life.

¹⁷ Then Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, “The Almighty Lord, the God of Israel, says: If you will surrender to Babylon, you and your family shall live and the city will not be burned.
