Jeremiah 38:2-4

Living Bible

² that everyone remaining in Jerusalem would die by sword, starvation, or disease, but anyone surrendering to the Babylonians would live, ³ and that the city of Jerusalem would surely be captured by the king of Babylon— ⁴ they went to the king and said: “Sir, this fellow must die. That kind of talk will undermine the morale of the few soldiers we have left, and of all the people too. This man is a traitor.”
