Jer 38:17 | MHM | STEP | v. 17–18 : Jeremiah told Zedekiah what God said: if the king surrendered to the Babylonian princes, he and his family would live, and Jerusalem would not be burned (Jeremiah 38:17 ). But if he refused, the city would be destroyed by fire (Jeremiah 38:18 ). God’s advice is the same for everyone—if we submit to Him, we find mercy; if we resist, we face judgment.
