Jeremiah 38:3-5
New American Bible (Revised Edition)

4 Then the princes said to the king, “This man ought to be put to death. He is weakening the resolve[a] of the soldiers left in this city and of all the people, by saying such things to them; he is not seeking the welfare of our people, but their ruin.”(A) 5 King Zedekiah answered: “He is in your hands,” for the king could do nothing with them.
