Jeremiah 38:24-26

Darby Translation

²⁴ And Zedekiah said unto Jeremiah, Let no man know of these words, and thou shalt not die.

²⁵ And if the princes hear that I have talked with thee, and they come unto thee, and say unto thee, Declare unto us now what thou hast said unto the king, hide it not from us, and we will not put thee to death; and what hath the king said unto thee?

²⁶ then thou shalt say unto them, I presented my supplication before the king, that he would not cause me to return to Jonathan's house, to die there.
