Jeremiah 38:14-16

Living Bible

¹⁴ One day King Zedekiah sent for Jeremiah to meet him at the side entrance of the Temple.

“I want to ask you something,” the king said, “and don’t try to hide the truth.”

¹⁵ Jeremiah said, “If I tell you the truth, you will kill me. And you won’t listen to me anyway.”

¹⁶ So King Zedekiah swore before Almighty God his Creator that he would not kill Jeremiah or give him to the men who were after his life.
