Jeremiah 38:3-5

Jubilee Bible 2000

³ Thus hath the LORD said, This city shall surely be given into the hand of the king of Babylon’s army, which shall take it.

⁴ Therefore the princes said unto the king, We beseech thee, let this man be put to death: for thus he weakens the hands of the men of war that remain in this city and the hands of all the people, in speaking such words unto them; for this man does not seek the peace of this people, but the hurt.

⁵ Then Zedekiah the king said, Behold, he is in your hand, for the king can not do any thing against you.
