Jeremiah 38:24-26

Evangelical Heritage Version

²⁴ Then Zedekiah said to Jeremiah, “If you do not let anyone know about this conversation, you will not die. ²⁵ But if the officials hear that I have spoken with you, they will come and ask you, ‘Tell us what you said to the king. Do not hide it from us, and we will not put you to death—just tell us what the king said to you.’ ²⁶ Tell them, ‘I was humbly begging the king not to return me to the house of Jonathan to die there.’”
