17 Then Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, “Thus says the Lord, the God of hosts, the God of Israel: ‘If you surely (A)surrender[a] (B)to the king of Babylon’s princes, then your soul shall live; this city shall not be burned with fire, and you and your house shall live. 18 But if you do not [b]surrender to the king of Babylon’s princes, then this city shall be given into the hand of the Chaldeans; they shall burn it with fire, and (C)you shall not escape from their hand.’ ”
19 And Zedekiah the king said to Jeremiah, “I am afraid of the Jews who have (D)defected to the Chaldeans, lest they deliver me into their hand, and they (E)abuse me.”
20 But Jeremiah said, “They shall not deliver you. Please, obey the voice of the Lord which I speak to you. So it shall be (F)well with you, and your soul shall live. 21 But if you refuse to [c]surrender, this is the word that the Lord has shown me: 22 ‘Now behold, all the (G)women who are left in the king of Judah’s house shall be surrendered to the king of Babylon’s princes, and those women shall say:
“Your close friends have [d]set upon you
And prevailed against you;
Your feet have sunk in the mire,
And they have [e]turned away again.”
23 ‘So they shall surrender all your wives and (H)children to the Chaldeans. (I)You shall not escape from their hand, but shall be taken by the hand of the king of Babylon. And you shall cause this city to be burned with fire.’ ”

17 Then Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, “This is what the Lord God Almighty, the God of Israel, says: ‘If you surrender(A) to the officers of the king of Babylon, your life will be spared and this city will not be burned down; you and your family will live.(B) 18 But if you will not surrender to the officers of the king of Babylon, this city will be given into the hands(C) of the Babylonians and they will burn(D) it down; you yourself will not escape(E) from them.’”
19 King Zedekiah said to Jeremiah, “I am afraid(F) of the Jews who have gone over(G) to the Babylonians, for the Babylonians may hand me over to them and they will mistreat me.”
20 “They will not hand you over,” Jeremiah replied. “Obey(H) the Lord by doing what I tell you. Then it will go well(I) with you, and your life(J) will be spared. 21 But if you refuse to surrender, this is what the Lord has revealed to me: 22 All the women(K) left in the palace of the king of Judah will be brought out to the officials of the king of Babylon. Those women will say to you:
“‘They misled you and overcame you—
those trusted friends(L) of yours.
Your feet are sunk in the mud;(M)
your friends have deserted you.’
23 “All your wives and children(N) will be brought out to the Babylonians. You yourself will not escape(O) from their hands but will be captured(P) by the king of Babylon; and this city will[a] be burned down.”(Q)
