Brenton⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁴ ^(45:24) Then the king said to him, Let no man know any of these words, and certainly thou shalt not die. ²⁵ ^(45:25) And if the princes shall hear that I have spoken to thee, and they come to thee, and say to thee, Tell us, what said the king to thee? hide it not from us, and we will in no wise slay thee, and what said the king to thee? ²⁶ ^(45:26) Then thou shalt say to them, I brought my supplication before the presence of the king, that he would not send me back into the house of Jonathan, that I should die there. ²⁷ ^(45:27) And all the princes came to Jeremias, and asked him: and he told them according to all these words, which the king had commanded him. And they were silent, because the word of the Lord was not heard.
