Jeremiah 38:23-25

The Voice

²³ All your wives and sons will be marched out before the Chaldeans. And as for you, Zedekiah, you will not escape capture by the king of Babylon. As for this city, Jerusalem, it will be burned to the ground.”

King Zedekiah: ²⁴ Do not tell anyone about our conversation, or you may be killed! We must keep this a secret. ²⁵ If my officials learn that I spoke to you, they may come to you and threaten you saying, “Tell us everything you told the king and what he said to you. Don’t try to hide anything from us or we will execute you.”
