Jeremiah 38:17-20

17Then Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, “Thus says the Lord, the God of hosts, the God of Israel: aIf you will surrender to bthe officials of the king of Babylon, cthen your life shall be spared, and this city shall not be burned with fire, and you and your house shall live. 18But if you do not surrender to dthe officials of the king of Babylon, ethen this city shall be given into the hand of the Chaldeans, fand they shall burn it with fire, and you shall not escape from their hand.” 19King Zedekiah said to Jeremiah, “I am afraid of the Judeans gwho have deserted to the Chaldeans, lest I be handed over to them and they deal cruelly with me.” 20Jeremiah said, “You shall not be given to them. Obey now the voice of the Lord in what I say to you, hand it shall be well with you, and your life shall be spared.
