Jeremiah 38:24-27
Revised Standard Version
24 Then Zedeki′ah said to Jeremiah, “Let no one know of these words and you shall not die. 25 If the princes hear that I have spoken with you and come to you and say to you, ‘Tell us what you said to the king and what the king said to you; hide nothing from us and we will not put you to death,’ 26 then you shall say to them, ‘I made a humble plea to the king that he would not send me back to the house of Jonathan to die there.’” 27 Then all the princes came to Jeremiah and asked him, and he answered them as the king had instructed him. So they left off speaking with him, for the conversation had not been overheard.

Jeremiah 38:24-27
New International Version
24 Then Zedekiah said to Jeremiah, “Do not let anyone know(A) about this conversation, or you may die. 25 If the officials hear that I talked with you, and they come to you and say, ‘Tell us what you said to the king and what the king said to you; do not hide it from us or we will kill you,’ 26 then tell(B) them, ‘I was pleading with the king not to send me back to Jonathan’s house(C) to die there.’”
27 All the officials did come to Jeremiah and question him, and he told them everything the king had ordered him to say. So they said no more to him, for no one had heard his conversation with the king.
