Jeremiah 38:23-25

Contemporary English Version

²³ The Babylonian army will take your wives and children captive, you will be taken as a prisoner to the King of Babylonia, and Jerusalem will be burned down.”^[a]

²⁴ Zedekiah said, “Jeremiah, if you tell anyone what we have talked about, you might lose your life. ²⁵ And I'm sure that if my officials hear about our meeting, they will ask you what we said to each other. They might even threaten to kill you if you don't tell them.
