Jeremiah 38:3-5
EasyEnglish Bible
3 The Lord also says, “I will put this city under the power of the King of Babylon's army. They will take it for themselves.” ’
4 When the officers heard that, they said to the king, ‘You must punish this man with death. He is making our soldiers who remain in the city afraid. The things that he says are making all the people in the city very afraid. He does not want to help our people. He wants to destroy them.’
5 King Zedekiah said to them, ‘You can do to Jeremiah whatever you want to do. I cannot stop you.’

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.’”(A)
4 Then the officials(B) said to the king, “This man should be put to death.(C) He is discouraging(D) 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.”
5 “He is in your hands,”(E) King Zedekiah answered. “The king can do nothing(F) to oppose you.”
