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.”

Jeremiah 38:2-4
New International Version
2 “This is what the Lord says: ‘Whoever stays in this city will die by the sword, famine or plague,(A) but whoever goes over to the Babylonians[a] will live. They will escape with their lives; they will live.’(B) 3 And this is what the Lord says: ‘This city will certainly be given into the hands of the army of the king of Babylon, who will capture it.’”(C)
4 Then the officials(D) said to the king, “This man should be put to death.(E) He is discouraging(F) the soldiers who are left in this city, as well as all the people, by the things he is saying to them. This man is not seeking the good of these people but their ruin.”
