Jeremiah 38:2-4

Legacy Standard Bible

² “Thus says Yahweh, ‘He who ^(A)stays in this city will die by the ^(B)sword and by the famine and by the pestilence, but he who goes out to the Chaldeans will live and have his own ^(C)life as spoil and stay alive.’ ³ Thus says Yahweh, ‘This city will certainly be ^(D)given into the hand of the military force of the king of Babylon, and he will capture it.’” ⁴ Then the ^(E)officials said to the king, “Now let this man be put to death, inasmuch as he is ^(F)making the hands of the men of war who remain in this city as well as the hands of all the people limp, by speaking such words to them; for this man ^(G)is not seeking peace for this people but rather calamity.”
