Jeremiah 38:2-4

MLV(i) 2 Jehovah says thus: He who abides in this city will die by the sword, by the famine and by the pestilence, but he who goes forth to the Chaldeans will live and his life will be to him for a prey and he will live. 3 Jehovah says thus: This city will surely be given into the hand of the army of the king of Babylon and he will take it.
4 Then the rulers said to the king, Please let this man be put to death, inasmuch as he weakens the hands of the men of war who remain in this city and the hands of all the people, in speaking such words to them. For this man seeks not the welfare of this people, but the hurt.
