Jeremiah 38:24-26

The Voice

King Zedekiah: ²⁴ Do not tell anyone about our conversation, or you may be killed! We must keep this a secret. ²⁵ If my officials learn that I spoke to you, they may come to you and threaten you saying, “Tell us everything you told the king and what he said to you. Don’t try to hide anything from us or we will execute you.” ²⁶ If that happens, tell them, “I was only begging the king not to send me back to Jonathan’s house again because I was afraid of dying there.”
