Jeremiah 38:23-25

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

²³ All your wives and your children shall be led out to the Chaldeans, and you yourself shall not escape from their hand, but shall be seized by the king of Babylon; and this city shall be burned with fire.’

²⁴ Then Zedekiah said to Jeremiah, ‘Do not let anyone else know of this conversation, or you will die. ²⁵ If the officials should hear that I have spoken with you, and they should come and say to you, “Just tell us what you said to the king; do not conceal it from us, or we will put you to death. What did the king say to you?”
