Jeremiah 38:24-26

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁴ Then Sedecias said to Jeremias: Let no man know these words, and thou shalt not die.

²⁵ But if the princes shall hear that I have spoken with thee, and shall come to thee, and say to thee: Tell us what thou hast said to the king, hide it not from us, and we will not kill thee: and also what the king said to thee:

²⁶ Thou shalt say to them: I presented my supplication before the king, that he would not command me to be carried back into the house of Jonathan, to die there.
