Jeremiah 38:3-5
Easy-to-Read Version
3 And this is what the Lord says: ‘This city of Jerusalem will surely be given to the army of the king of Babylon. He will capture this city.’”
4 Then the royal officials who heard what Jeremiah was telling the people went to King Zedekiah. They said to the king, “Jeremiah should be put to death. He is discouraging the soldiers who are still in the city and everyone else by what he is saying. He is not looking for peace; he is just trying to cause trouble.”
5 So King Zedekiah said to the officials, “Jeremiah is in your control. I cannot do anything to stop you.”
