Jeremiah 38:17-20 Then said Jeremiah unto Zedekiah––Thus, saith Yahweh, God of hosts, God of Israel––If thou wilt, indeed go forth, unto the princes of the king of Babylon, then shall thine own soul live, and, this city, shall not be burned with fire,––but thou shalt live, thou, and thy house.

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁷ Then said Jeremiah unto Zedekiah––Thus, saith Yahweh, God of hosts, God of Israel––If thou wilt, indeed go forth, unto the princes of the king of Babylon, then shall thine own soul live, and, this city, shall not be burned with fire,––but thou shalt live, thou, and thy house. ¹⁸ But, if thou wilt not go forth unto the princes of the king of Babylon, then shall this city be delivered into the hand of the Chaldeans, and they shall burn it with fire, and, thou, shalt not escape out of their hand. ¹⁹ Then said King Zedekiah, unto Jeremiah: I, am afraid of the Jews, who have fallen away unto the Chaldeans, lest they deliver, me, into their hand, and they maltreat me. ²⁰ But Jeremiah said, They shall not deliver!––Hearken, I pray thee, unto the voice of Yahweh, in what I, am speaking unto thee, that it may be well with thee, and thy soul live.
