Jeremiah 38:24-26

Christian Standard Bible

²⁴ Then Zedekiah warned Jeremiah, “Don’t let anyone know about this conversation^[a] or you will die. ²⁵ The officials may hear that I have spoken with you^(A) and come and demand of you, ‘Tell us what you said to the king; don’t hide anything from us and we won’t kill you. Also, what did the king say to you?’ ²⁶ If they do, tell them, ‘I was bringing before the king my petition that he not return me to the house of Jonathan to die there.’”^(B)
