Jeremiah 38:3-5

New Century Version

³ And this is what the Lord says: ‘This city of Jerusalem will surely be handed over to the army of the king of Babylon. He will capture this city!’”

⁴ Then the officers said to the king, “Jeremiah must be put to death! He is discouraging the soldiers who are still in the city, and all the people, by what he is saying to them. He does not want good to happen to us; he wants to ruin us.”

⁵ King Zedekiah said to them, “Jeremiah is in your control. I cannot do anything to stop you.”
