Jeremiah 38:3-5

EasyEnglish Bible

³ The Lord also says, “I will put this city under the power of the King of Babylon's army. They will take it for themselves.” ’

⁴ When the officers heard that, they said to the king, ‘You must punish this man with death. He is making our soldiers who remain in the city afraid. The things that he says are making all the people in the city very afraid. He does not want to help our people. He wants to destroy them.’

⁵ King Zedekiah said to them, ‘You can do to Jeremiah whatever you want to do. I cannot stop you.’
